My partner (28m) and I (26f) are in a healthy satisfying relationship. He is autistic and going through the unmasking process and getting comfortable with the diagnosis. We communicate well and don’t have issues often. But it is hard for me as someone without autism to understand how he processes sometimes and leaves me feeling a little lonely and confused sometimes. He shows love in a very unique way that can feel distant. And also takes a long time to show that. Sometimes it feels like we are just friends? I guess is the best way to describe that? Even though he is very dedicated and sure about me. I guess the day to day is a little weird for me. The relationship is somewhat new, although we have known each other a very long time. He has expressed he is still processing moving from friends to lovers. Which I can understand but it does have me feeling slighted sometimes. I want to be patient and give it the space that is deserved but sometimes it makes me go wtf lol
TLDR: any tips for dating someone on the spectrum?
