Hello, this is a call for resources on relationships and autism. Do you know a website, book, podcast, instagram account, or other resource to help a long time neurodivergent couple who could use insight? The ways we were taught to do relationship might not work for people who have different social needs and social responses.
I love being an autistic adult in relationships. Honesty, integrity, loyalty, and responsibility are some advanced traits I have as a partner, that autism enhances. Also, I can feel pleasure, adoration, and care very strongly.
But I’ve also been extra violenced. My loyalty and deep belief in others have been exploited too many times. I’m grateful to be middle aged and have some grasp of my own worth and what I actually need.
A friend is looking for anything that could shed some light. Thank you in advance for any resources you might suggest.
