Hi I am a 54 year old disabled man, I have a partner who i believe exhibits classic signs of autism. It is a struggle sometimes to communicate with especially with having my own health problems, just looking for some support as I feel very alone. Thanks Paul

    Hello ,

    Welcome to the community! I hope you're able to connect with people here and feel supported. You may like to look at our information about autism spectrum disorders:

    If your partner was interested in finding out if they are on the autism spectrum, they would need to have a formal diagnostic assessment. You may find it useful to have a look at the following link for further information about diagnosis and the benefits of getting one:

    If you have further questions, you may like to contact our Autism Helpline team. They can provide you with information and advice about getting a diagnosis. You can call them on 0808 800 4104 (Monday to Friday 10am to 3pm.Please note that the Helpline is experiencing a high volume of calls and it may take a couple of attempts before you get through to speak to an adviser.

    All the best,
