Thanks for sharing this view into your life. I really enjoyed it. My wife is NT, but I do often wonder what it would be like if she were autistic and/or some other ND. That said, I value her perspective a lot, since, for better or worse, we live in an NT-dominant world. Plus, she's been incredibly supportive even if she doesn't always quite get me (to say nothing of when I'm impatient or irritated!).
Hi Cary; you're quite welcome. Sometimes I too wonder what life might be like if I were with someone neurotypical; I can suggest it'd be interesting. I'm glad that your wife is supportive of you--that's all one can ask for!
Dear Mitch, Thank you for your writing - it is always clear, engaging, and compelling. During a time when there is much more interest in and acceptance of neurodiversities, it's really important for the voices of those living with it to be heard. I especially appreciate your discussion of the couple dynamics that occur when both parties are living with their own diversities while also navigating a close relationship. Please keep writing!
