I wanted to talk about the realities of life with an autistic partner (someone on the spectrum).
There are numerous channels talking about what it's like to be autistic, how to relate to someone on the specturm, yet not many talking about the challenges faced with dating an autistic person.

Not all journeys are the same, however, many NT partners live with meltdowns, shutdowns, lack of intimacy, romance, affection, compliments and emotional connection. I want to highlight what that does to the mental wellbeing of the NT (nuerotypical) partner (and children if applicable).
