My husband is a non diagnosed autistic person and he masks this all week at work.
When he is at home he just wants to hide in his office, he never comes out with me and the children, he won't visit places we want to visit because "everyone else is there" and he gets incredibly stressed and grumpy when it off his comfort zone so we just tend to leave him at home, however I feel like a single parent and I miss having someone to have adventures with.
I often wonder "what is the point" we sleep in separate rooms and although he says he loves me and I love him, it just doesn't feel like a "Normal relationship"
Can anyone offer any advice???
I wonder if it would help to write him a letter. If you verbally speak to him about how everything is affecting you he may find it too hard to reply rationally. But a letter means he has time to process and understand before reacting.
I have tried that before and he knows exactly how I feel but it just doesn't change anything. Thank you though Zoë. X
