A long list of things, but mostly that she gives me a sense of peace. We love each other for who we are. We never criticize. We always support each other. She is perfectly comfortable with long silences. We are intellectually compatible. We can call each other out on our BS and laugh at it. We are both on the same path in life. We've always been a team, complimenting each other in many ways.

That sounds like a wonderful relationship!

Absolutely not. It's a mystery every day. LOL!

Are you saying NTs can predict what people they know would like to have for dinner later in the week?
I thought through that situation and could never do that.

I can't speak to that other than I would imagine that NT relationships, especially husbands and wives of some 40 years, can likely finish each other's sentences. So, at least, I would imagine, that their ability to predict their partner's future behaviors, likes and dislikes, etc. might be statistically more accurate than say, myself of my wife. My wife might have a greater ability than me. She can read me a lot better than I can read her.

In our relationship, it's our differences that make us a better team, not our similarities. My brain operates on a totally different "wavelength" than my wife's and instead of creating conflicts (I can't say that it hasn't) we have learned to embrace our differences and actually use our strengths. We never bring up the weaknesses, it sort of goes unsaid. I do some things better than her and vice-versa. It's never been a competition between who's right and wrong, better or worse, etc.

It might be easier to predict what ASD people would like for dinner cuz some eat the same thing every day. I could do that but stopped because I was running out of favourite food that I wasn't getting desensitised to after weeks
