Autism and Marriage

JJ9516419

Hello - I’ve recently been diagnosed with Autism and ADHD at the age of 43. I always knew I was different and now finally have answers.
I am currently in chronic burnout and am finding I am quite withdrawn and I know my husband is struggling because he feels we don’t communicate and he feels shut out. I don’t mean to shut him out but I just wondered if this is an autistic thing and if so does anyone have any advice as to how I can navigate our relationship with these diagnosis? Thank you

  • You are not the first member here to experience such issues, and I highly doubt you will be the last.

    Although I'm not married and have no personal experience of the situation you find yourself in, there are other members who will be able to relate, and hopefully offer you some advice.

    Even though we don't always mean to, shutting people out does seem to be quite a common trait... based on what I've read on these forums.
