Hi

I’m in a relationship with an autistic male and recently I’ve had difficulties understanding his behavior. Unfortunately we don’t live in the same place so we cannot see each other often but we chat. However up until 4 days ago he’s been very present and nice. Now he’s ignoring me. He sends me his good morning and then nothing else. He doesn’t even read my messages. I’ve asked him if he still likes me and he has always said yes. I really like him and I told him. I have asked if I had done something wrong and his answer was I need to sleep.

I’m very stressed and said about this. I’m trying to give him space but I need to know if I’m the problem. I’d like to let him know I’m still here for him, but I don’t know how to convey that.

I’ve reading a lot about autism so I can try to understand his mind a little bit.

I know that there’s a chance his not fine at the moment but I also know that he was interacting in other social media and again not sure what to make of it.

I’m really desperate for help now.

Thanks and sorry for the venting moment but I feel very alone on this right now.

Thanks

Luisa

    Hi there

    Sorry to hear this but there might be a reasonable explanation. Maybe the other social platforms he is on are talking to other ND individuals and him perhaps taking advice or just getting some reassurance? I would just let him know you’re there whenever he’s ready and try not to be too disgruntled about it. Maybe he’s a little overwhelmed with something atm and just needs to regulate. Try not to take it personally and I’m sure he just needs some alone time as we all need this from time to time. 
    From personal experience I don’t stay in touch with friends as much as I should but I still think and feel the same about them. For me knowing they are there doesn’t always need to be maintained. 

    Try and be patient and I’m sure he will be back on the same page
