Advice on relationships with someone with autism

Nerdylittlething

Hey guys!

so my partner recently got diagnosed with autism, and I’m finding it really hard with him at the moment, we’ve been together 5 years next month, I support him in all ways possible, but I’m tired of people saying he’s lucky to have me, because the pressure to be supportive all the time is stressing me out, so when I want to talk to him as my partner about my issues he can’t help me, I feel so down and alone

i don’t want to leave him, but I feel like I’m losing my sanity sometimes 

any advice at all?

  • I hope you can get the support you need for your own issues, from your partner and from other people in your life.  Reaching out can be hard especially when you are seen as the strong one,  I wrote down all my supports on a piece of paper (people’s names and things like music, nature, Samaritans) and it helps to look at that list when I don’t know where to turn for support..  Don’t know much about autism but thought this might help x
