    Is it very difficult to acknowledge the validity of an alternative perspective when someone points out you aren't doing it?

    Trying to wrap my mind around where my partner's autism stops and other issues begin. He is chronically invalidating and dismissive, and usually wants to focus on the facts of a specific incident. He says I complain too much but he responds so poorly when I complain, that things upsetting me do...

    Acts of service without emotional repair after mocking me

    Husband and I are both autistic. I'm not alexithymic but he is. I'm an emotional person. Words of affirmation, quality time and touch are my love languages. He shows love through gifts and acts of service. He hurt me very badly yesterday. He mocked my deepest, most vulnerable emotional needs...

    Communication help for double autistic marriage

    Hi. I'm having arguments with my husband and need help with how to explain things. We are both autistic but I am very much emotionally oriented. I don't care as much about facts, logic and reason as he does. I don't care about evidence. Truth be told I think that he's using a lot of emotional...

    What was your experience with the ADOS?

    Just finished my formal assessment and I am very interested to hear your experience taking the ADOS. Curious to hear if you made up a story with objects, do you remember the story? Any other things? I find it fascinating that they can use storytelling for diagnosis.

    Hi again, I am in autistic burnout and it's hurting my marriage. I can't talk without sounding aggravated because I am so overwhelmed. I don't have the energy to pad my communication with niceties. It's hard to repeat myself. I have been nonverbal. I tried to get my husband to switch to...

    Migraines with and without vestibular problems

    How many of you get migraines? I feel like my nervous system is so sensitive that they get triggered over almost anything. I tried tracking barometric pressure changes through an app but I would get migraines from such minor fluctuations the app said I shouldn't have any issues. The migraines...

    ND-ND marriage, anything I have not tried?

    I could write a whole book about this but I won't do that to you. The story might sound like a stereotype - wife feels emotionally deprived, disconnected, ND husband says he is doing what she is asking for but she isn't experiencing it the way it "should" be. ND husband apparently unable to see...

    Hi from a lady autist

    Hi, thanks for letting me be here. I am having a tough time with some things. I am self-dx but I have also been officially dx, just by an LPC not through a neuropsych eval. I am thinking about doing the formal dx but undecided. I am married to another person with HFA (undiagnosed) and the...
