I just started going out with a 50 something lady with autism. I really like her, but I don’t know much about autism. I’m watching videos like yours so I can understand her better. Do you have any videos that would be good for me to watch?
@@TheAspieWorldI see, cool. Hope your well. Do you have an understanding of Hyperacusis. I believe that it is this process/disorder that synchronises two quiet background songs together into one and amplify as it when listening or tripple layered music
my 27 yr old autistic son signed up on it today and got an email that his video was not approved and sounds like no instructions or information given. Doesn’t sound neurodivergent friendly so far. Do you know the creators? This is concerning since it seemed like just another “rejection” or not fitting in situation sadly.
Thanks for the advice I find I have melt downs a lot because I have severe arthritis and it affects my daily tasks badly. Like if I try to go out for a day even just to visit family by the time I get home I can barely walk and am in an immense amount of pain and then it takes me days to start to feel better. And this affects my relationships badly as well.
I've been in a neurodivergent relationship for almost 19 years and agree with everything you said! My husband struggles with #2 and I have learned that #3 is so important! It makes the time we do spend together much more enjoyable.
Agree. That’s why my relationship ended 🥹. He just couldn’t relate to me and just said it’s not a big deal. Everything’s fine. I don’t see the problem etc etc. left me sad and not validated so I still had the feelings and things would go in circles
I am 100% sure if I were to be evaluated that I would be diagnosed as on the spectrum, but it is very difficult in the US at least to get diagnosed. Especially if you live in a rural area like I do. I’d like to get a diagnosis but was told insurance wouldn’t cover the evaluation and that it would cost 2-4 thousand out of pocket just to get a diagnosis. And that is just too much money to be worth it.
What do you do when everything has to be his way, and all his effort is geared to his comfort? I feel like a tool . Then I am made to feel selfish like I am asking for too much. He can contact me at any time, but I have to email him and sometimes I don’t get a response for two days, and his excuse is that he was drained because of work, or because he didn’t get enough sleep. I love him but I feel coldness from him when I am in his presence. What do I do? Do I give up. Is there a chance at all for us?
This is very difficult to answer. The best advice anyone can give is for you to go with what you feel comfortable with. The reason I'm saying this is because on one hand one can assume from the information you've given that he doesn't care or shows no effort but on the other hand, you can also think that he actually loves you but life just keeps getting in the way. The only thing I can suggest is to have a serious conversation and to really illustrate how this sort of treatment has you at odds. Most of the time you have to put the responsibility back onto their shoulders to see if they really want things to flow or not.
@@paulinehowell7736 happens to the best of us don't worry. Sometimes it's good to have the difficult conversations and give some time to allow yourself and then to think about everything.
I can relate. Everything was on his terms. No sacrifice or compromise as he just didn’t get my needs. Had to be on his routine or I’d never see him. He’d go 4/5 days without seeing me and not even give it a second thought. I like my own space but it gave me serious anxiety not knowing where I stood even tho he’d say he loved me. I just never felt it because there was no effort initiation etc
I really really really love this video, I never really knew why I'd get upset over certain things until I watched this video. It really made me understand things better, hopefully I'll be able to put it to good use. 😊 I now know why I absolutely love making organizational charts. Thank you 😊
How do you support ones needs while asking them to support yours without the feeling like your giving in and feeling like you have to do each task you autistic partner wants but still being able to say no and not feel bad
I have tried to get into Collage several times. All unsuccessful for one reason or another. They don’t respond to emails. I even got as far as giving payment info and then couldn’t log in. It is driving me to meltdown I am so upset. Now I have missed the deadline for the free year! Any idea how i cancel the subscription…anyone??
@@TessaCoker that’s a shame, guess they must be having some technical difficulties. I couldn’t get onto their website either. Feel a bit weird about them having my weird video interview that I uploaded 😐
@@sadieADHD God, yes! I did 3 different vids trying to sign up. All were awful. I don't do FaceTime, Zoom or any Telehealth. No one would have friended me anyway probably 😉
