[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My spouse never takes responsibility because he’s on the spectrum and always dropping the ball. So his go-to maladaptive trait is to never apologize, deny, deflect, walk off, or start a sideshow argument and attack the other person instead. 
Terrible role model for the kids of course. [/quote]

My significant other does this too, but I don't see any signs of being on the spectrum.  He's very socially at ease.  I've seen these behaviors also linked to narcissistic personality disorder, but he doesn't seem particularly full of himself either.  Is there a term for people who just don't communicate fairly and linearly?[/quote]

I don't think it's just communication style. There are people who have Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (NOT the same as OCD) who exhibit some of these behaviors. They strive for perfection yet often have blind spots to their own failings and it kills them to admit they failed/didn't to something perfect. Trying to get them to admit that they've done something wrong is next to impossible.  [/quote]
