Whereas I am autistic, my girlfriend is not. I sometimes worry that this is too large a difference between us and that it makes us incompatible. However, she is extremely supportive of me and incredibly willing to meet my needs.
If we are in a loud environment but I am too embarrassed to put my headphones on, she will encourage me to do so. She is an artist, and even hand made me communication cards (she designed, drew, painted and laminated them) for when I am overwhelmed.
What is something your partner does to support your needs as an autistic individual?
