How do relationships work with autism?

Is it best to find another autist as a partner so you don't inflict it on a NT person?

Parents
  • My husband is NT, the big advantage is that he reads the non verbal cues and body language and provides me with additional explanation to various situations,  he also tells me, that our daughter doesn't like something etc. The more problematic thing is that I constantly misread his reactions and ask him, if he is angry when he is not. He also misread me often, but we explain things to each other. He is I would say highly sensitive and definitely an introvert, has many friends, but likes spending more time at home and watch football or tv series.

    There are various combinations of NT-ND or ND-ND that may fit good, or not at all.
