Autistic Adult Struggling With Tone of Voice - Coping Strategies Help

Hello Everyone,

I was diagnosed last year with Adult Autism - High Functioning.

I'm sure many of you may experience this in your lives but I am struggling to cope with people's tones when they speak to me, especially my partner. I am finding it extremely difficult to comprehend the way a simple question is being asked, ie How do you spell something, and not taking offence at the tone of the question. I'm taking it very personal and feel put down or put in my place like a little child.

Does anyone know of any coping strategies to help in this regard?

Any help would be much appreciated.
