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
Hi NAS86624, in addition to the replies you've had, I would recommend you have a look at our page on Relationships: https://www.autism.org.uk/advice-and-guidance/topics/family-life-and-relationships/family-life/partners.
You may be able to find support groups for your partner on our Autism Services Directory: https://www.autism.org.uk/directory.
Best wishes,
