Is anyone else in this situation similar to mine.

Hi there so at the moment I care for my wife which has had its challenges. After we got married things changed significantly and I have been at loss as to how to help her. It’s been long and difficult three years as I or we believe she is on the spectrum, I tried different ways of communicating and understanding her in the best way I can, 

My wife is definitely struggling with her mental health she can’t maintain her employment which has been a pattern over those years, as someone who is not on the spectrum myself that is it’s been very difficult. 

we are in the process of getting a Diagnosis but we live like she has been diagnosed as this has helped me to look at how I can best support my wife. Am looking for support myself as it’s very lonely as a lot of my needs are not met.
