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.ThanksLuisa
Hmm, are these "good morning" texts the type of thing, where you expect him to text you every single day out of 365 days, just to make small talk? I mean, for the female it's nice to receive good morning texts, but for the male, it's like having to wake up every day already having to already do something, and it becomes like a chore. Sometimes people want to wake up with the freedom to not have chores or any plans yet. Also, small talk is good to get to know each other, but it might get boring if the same things are always asked. I don't know if that's what's actually happening in your relationship, but that's just what I thought about. He might just be drained by the social interaction. Some people get easily drained and needs personal space to recharge. Perhaps he's trying to recharge by going on social media.
