Can you tell me about having a husband or partner with Autism?

[howtobehuman]

I'm asking because I've suspected for a long time that my partner has autism. Our son is currently awaiting assessment for SEN and my head is so full of worries and questions. I know these things can be hereditary. So I'd like to hear other people's experiences - what are the most obvious differences to someone who is NT and how do you overcome them in a relationship?

Hi OP, there is a long support thread in the Relationships forum about this.

I think I found it OP:
