Hi, I’m wanting to hear experiences of neurotypical men who are in marriages with an autistic person. I want to know what kinds of challenges you experience being with someone on the spectrum. Have you gotten past those challenges, if so how? What kinds of compromises have you two met to keep things running smoothly? How do you handle your partner’s support needs? Anything you’ve learned? Any advantages you find being with someone on the spectrum? My husband is NT and I am autistic. It DOES cause challenges in our relationship sometimes, but at the end of the day we are a good match and committed to working through the bumps that come from having to translate back and forth two completely different operating systems. I believe while I may be a challenging person at times, I am a fun loving silly person who will always say exactly how I’m feeling and works hard despite my challenges. I hope to learn something new from your responses and maybe be able to apply some of your wisdom to my relatively new marriage (about to celebrate two wonderful years) that I plan to be in til my last breath. 🫶 submitted by /u/AcanthaceaePlayful16
