Relationship Problems Help

72678

Hello, 

Me and my partner have been together for 6 years, we are currently on a break because my inability to understand propper wording or understand most things really, makes me come across like im gaslighting, being rude, misinterpreting language to name a few, has anybody else had to deal with this kind of thing or have any contacts for therapy related to autism?

    I'm sorry to hear that this is causing problems for you but I think this is a fairly common issue for autists when in relationships and is typically influenced strongly by our autstic traits.

    Can you explain how the inability to undertand wording appears for you? For example does someone say something to you and you hear the words but actually processing what they mean only happens later on? This example is called delayed processing but there are other examples that are are connected to autism.

    If you can explain it in more detail it may be easier for us to give some feedback to you.

    Is your partner neurotypical (ie not autistic)?
