My wife in the "isn't everyone a little on the spectrum" camp (a whole other conversation), oddly I wouldn't be remotely surprised that she was but I'm wise enough not to open that can of worms.
She just accepts me for who I am. I do struggle socially and let her take the lead if at all possible. Which is probably frustrating for her at times.
She now knows I'm not keen on surprises which discovered fairly early in in our relationship when she book a surprise holiday,. She even booked my time off at work and didn't tell me, which definitely was a surprise. Admittedly I reacted badly and I still haven't forgiven myself 20+ years later.(It was a lovely holiday, that we both needed)
