Help my relationship pleaseee

Hi All,

Im super new here and need some advice from anyone. My boyfriend and I have been together almost 2 years now and recently things just haven't been working out, this is mostly to do with his inability to understand social norms. He find it impossible to empathise with people and understand how his words have actions. He has recently confided that he believes he is autistic. I know this is a forum specific to autism and I would just like some advice/ stories from people who may have been in a similar situation. Our relationship is seriously on the rocks so this diagnosis explains a lot of our issues.

  • I suggest you & your man investigate further on autism.

    There are a few different tests available online such as AQ-50.

    There are resources like the advice & guidance pages here on NAS.

    There are a plethora of videos on youtube on people describing what it's like to be autistic (ASD, aspergers etc).

    Discovering how other autistic people feel and behave should be helpful in figuring out what he struggles with and how to work with it.
