I've been married to a wonderful woman since 1994. In February 2025, following the discovery that both of her adult children have ASD, she submitted herself for assessment and was also diagnosed with Autism.
This does not change the way I feel about her and we see the diagnosis as a positive event that allows both of us to understand why she is like she is and how ASD shapes her life.
I cannot claim that our relationship has been plain sailing and we have had some very difficult times but have managed to overcome most of these trials and I feel we are all the stronger for it. That said, understanding ASD may help us to view things in a different light and also assist me to help her.
Thank you. For taking the time to read.
