Introduction.

Afternoon,

My fiancee, we are due to be wed in July 2022 having deferred from this year due to COVID-19, has recently realised that she is showing autistic and ADHD traits and is awaiting screening for both disabilities.

The change in our life is massive, I am struggling to come to terms with how she is changing and adjusting to this development and want to support her but finding it extremely difficult. My actions, mannerisms, choice of words, silence and other aspects trigger a different reaction from her. Her responses, levels of frustration and general attitude towards me change with every thing I say or do or don`t say or do.

I`m looking for support, as she is, albeit in a different light and for differing reasons.

Thank you.

    I know relatively little about ADHD, but if she is autistic, she will always have been autistic. Realisation that one might be autistic takes some internal adjustment, but it should not change a person's behaviour in any drastic way.
