Support for my Male NT Partner

Hi,

First time posting. I am female, currently undergoing the diagnostic process - I actually had my formal assessment today.

My partner is struggling with the difficulties I face overall, and now that I'm faced with this new information, in particular. 

I am looking for a place he can find support specifically for NT men with female partners with ASD.

All forums and groups seem to be focused on supporting NT women in relationships with ASD men (probably because of the historical prevelance of ASD in men vs females), but he feels like he needs to connect with other men since, let's face it, there are differences between how people of different genders and gender identities experience the world.

Any recommendations?

Thanks Slight smile

    I recommend, specially in such stressful time for you with the assessment and the new information that you have about yourself, that you priorities yourself for a while. I don't know your story, but this new knowledge about the self can be life transformative. When I realised my own autism I started to view my childhood, past relationships and all my life in a new light. It's a lot for some people. I hope it's easier for you, but if not then it's ok to care mainly about yourself for sometime.
