Hi hope you dont all mind me crashing your Forum! I have been seeing my guy for 10 months now and he was honest before our first date about his Autism. We had some issues in the beginning, mainly due to me not understanding fully his withdrawals and need to be left alone. Although I totally get it now this has to be the most emotionally draining relationship I have ever had!! I love him so much and because I am so aware of his stress levels I always put his needs first, this means I spend a lot of time crying or feeling low. When we are together it is amazing, he is affectionate and makes me feel so special. He says he loves me but me being an NT I get very confused especially if he doesnt see me for a couple of weeks. We text everyday but sometimes he seems so distant. I guess I am just looking for opinions that I am not wasting my time loving him
