My partner with autism

NAS93467

I’m not 100% sure what to do. My partner has autism and he’s gone on holiday with his friend. Who’s a male! Although there still has been some communicate I’m really struggling. He completely stopped telling me he loves me. Which is something he dose all the time. He’s telling me when he gets a chance he’ll video call and he hasn’t. Then he’s telling me all about these romantic walks with his friend and conversations by the river. I could really use some advice as I’m struggling with this. I’m trying my hardest not to overthink it but it’s getting really difficult! Can I have some advice please?

  • If this is his first time away, the usual social patterns he has taught himself to do could have been forgotten with the complete change of environment and routine. 

    It's much easier said than done, but I think you might need to hold tight, have some self care time or fun out with friends and address it fully when you can communicate properly.

    You can ask for reassurance for now, and make it clear what you need to feel reassured, but it might be to do with being in a different setting and forgetting to communicate like an allistic person.
