[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a DW with ASD that was diagnosed later in life. Everyone has their own story of course, but for us the diagnosis was a revelation and very helpful in understanding why my downtime was essential to protect. As a female my presentation is quite different than what a lot of people think autism looks like - you'd probably never guess if you met me. But the relationship strains were real, especially adding a child to the mix.

We have a loving relationship and do well together. Some of what I bring to the table has really added to the fun and sense of adventure that we experience together, and some of what DH brings to the table helps me stay grounded and he is a good for reality checks when I don't pick up on things.[/quote]

Thank you for including your perspective here. You sound very open minded and flexible, which I'm sure is what helps your marriage work. Some of us here seem to have neuro-divergent spouses who are not so open. I do think that those that find an ASD diagnosis to be a revelation end up much happier, because of an openness to this flexibility. I hope we will get there..... not sure though....[/quote]
