I would love an autism+adhd relationship series

Best description of a shutdown I've heard. Thanks! I don't think I have heard anyone explain it so well.

Thomas thank you SO MUCH for your video! I just experienced my partner who has ASD having a shutdown for the first time and because I have been watching your dating series as soon as I understood he was experiencing a shutdown I knew exactly what to do thanks to this video again thank you so much - Ash from Australia

Where has this channel been!?! I’ve subscribed, liked, shared, and commented to support your channel.😊

Your brilliant at explaining all the ins ands out autism. Hope your operation went well and your pain free. Also find it difficult to understand why you don’t have more followers with the amount of the population that has autism also family members that are carers. This has been a god send for me for understanding 🙏👍

Thank you for creating such informative videos! 🤓
I am still trying to figure out my meltdowns and shutdowns with the neurotypical(?) life. Since I do not have another adult to give me feedback, I have to rely on my guessing abilities on how I feel. 🤣 Your explanations help me immensely. Thank you again!

finding your videos very helpful! Weve recently figured out my husband is autistic, SO many things finally make sense! I wondered if you could advice on what to do when an autistic person is shut down for many days in a row or even a week or more? Once my husband gets off work for the holidays he goes into an intense shut down and is very upset about having to do anything besides his special interest. I need his help with things and need to talk to him but he just responds with grunts or ignores me so much, but if I push the issue it leads to a meltdown. I dont know what to do!

I laugh the same clueless laugh as you😅😅😅😅

How long can a shut down / melt down last? My ex has had a major trigger with a new job stage, said he was overwhelmed and needed to be alone all of a sudden right before he started the new job. Haven’t heard from him in 4 weeks. What’s the likelihood he will reach out? It was all going well until the change in jobs

Can an adult in the spectrum distinguish between someone wanting a friendship & wanting a romantic relationship? I am neurotipic and have been sharing a lot lately with man on a spectrum and having great times & conversations and although I will settle for a friendship, I would be willing & interested in a romantic relationship. How do I know if he is aware?

Don't know if you watch the show love on the spectrum but thinking about one of the people on there gets me mad and depressed
