Mild Autism of My husband

Hi,

My husband was diagnosed with mild autism later after our marriage.We've been married for almost 17 years. He was only diagnosed last 8 years ago. As his wife, I would wish to also cook for him, but he often refused because he does not trust my cooking, so he ended up cooking all by himself. He also does not like being touched because it's giving him overwhelming sensory reactions and catching too much feelings. He does not like romantic touches, too much emotions, he hates passionate and compassionate love and care sometimes, it can be frustrating for me as a wife, because I also need attention, I also want a child and love interest but he finds it difficult to express emotions.

Is this just a normal behaviour for autism spectrum? Thanks.
