Our marriage - positives and negatives

You can clearly see me having a delayed reaction in this video to Atrus saying I am manipulative - watch and see.
Atrus and I discuss our marriage and how being aware of autism & how it fits into our lives has changed our marriage for the better overall. We discuss the positives and negatives of our marriage. Thank you so much to Atrus for agreeing to contribute to this video and toA share the ups and downs of our relationship. I love him so much! Yes, I totally flapped at the end of this video. I get hyped up around people, well certain people.

Thank you DancingDenman, yes, that is exactly why I repeat myself because I do not feel heard. I have suggested this to Atrus. He is willing to try this new technique. That makes so much sense. Thank you for the tip. I also repeat myself a lot as a way of processing things so that I understand it better myself. I'll go over and over things in my head until I understand it as best I can.

18:45ish....Kezza repeating herself may be a need to get some "echo-location" or feedback/mirroring, whatever words fit for you. In order for me to move on I need to know I've been heard. My partner has learned how important it is to repeat back what he's heard me say. He hates doing it (says it feels fake) but the difference in the quality of our communication is huge. If what he repeats isn't accurate we are still stuck. When he can mirror it back ACCURATELY, I feel heard and I can move on.
