I’m new here … thoughts appreciated…

NAS95463

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?!

  • welcome aboard! I am 70s and never fully managed to have this live-in, always there 'relationship', but I have many friendships.

    Lots of people my age who are autistic are not aware of it but we find each other. It's important to be mindful of my friends. They are my flower garden and need watering.
