When Neurotypicals Discover Spouse's Autism #neurotypical #autistic #autismandmarriage #asd #hfa

Here are the deets on what happens with neurotypicals. They figure out that their partner has autism, and they go through this process in which they come to the realization that they're missing something from their intimate partner that they really, really want. And then they feel guilty about wanting it, and they feel like they're a bad person.

And so, they decide that since they're a bad person and they shouldn't really want what they really do want, they try to suppress those wants, and really, really focus on the things that they love about you. And then they're not able to do that consistently.

And so, when something else goes wrong, then they start getting upset with you about your autism again. And then they feel guilty again. And then they're really nice to you again because they know that they shouldn't be upset about your autism ​

Is there a full version of Nailed it

Not me & my husband. Our marriage is basically perfect. Living with autism is hard but it's been a blessing for our marriage. My husband doesn't have to deal with the non-communication and guessing games that most women play. We just talk like mature adults.
