I’m a 60 year old man, and have only become aware of my autism over the last 3 or 4 years, after forming a relationship with a very social, extrovert and neurotypical partner.
Even with her best efforts, we don’t always understand each other, which makes for relationship conflicts, or need for time apart….
Thoughts and experiences welcome from both perspectives?!
I've a long term NT partner. We do have many gaps in understanding. She is able to get out there and do what she likes without any resentment from me. I try to make an effort to do things her way too.
Thanks, I relate to your comments…. my partner’s very appreciative that I support her being her and don’t worry about or want to control or interfere in her relationships with others as a NT may do!
