I'm sure there are older posts regarding this, but I live with my partner, who has traits of autism (high levels of social anxiety, v. Particular, a quizzing genius, blunt etc.). We have had recent challenges to our relationship -a big move, house buying and his estranged child. How would it be of benefit to him/ me to be diagnosed with autism in our 40s?
