Understanding your place in a relationship

Geestar8

Hi I’m georgia and I have a diagnoses as well. I’ve been struggling to understand how to be in a relationship as I can’t seem to keep one. I don’t understand people at all which is ironic as I’m doing a degree in people. I guess what I’m asking is if anyone who can help, I tend to get in a muddle a lot and the people I’m with don’t understand that there’s certain things that I do differently not by choice but by nature and they find it difficult to cope with and I then find it hard to cope with everyone leaving all the time because of me not understanding what’s going on. It’s all very confusing and if I’ve made any sense I would be great fil for a pointers or even someone who’s able to understand me and this difficulty. 
Thankyou Blush

  • Hi friend- I wonder if I can help? What type of relationship do you mean- friend, romantic, or co worker? Each type of relationship can have a lot of difference in what your role is. I think you mean a romantic relationship. Is that right? My partner has ASD. I know my partner has also struggled in the past with romantic relationships not working for him. Many times he felt relationships were more successful when he was comfortable enough to disclose that he had ASD. Then the other person could learn to be more patient and understanding of any differences. Have you tried that before? I wonder if that helped at all.
