No 'good luck' from partner on first day of new job job

My partner is neurodiverse and I am slowly learning all that this means. In general he is a very supportive partner.

When I was unhappy and wanted to leave my job, he talked through all the options with me. He said well done when I finally resigned.

When I actually got this job he didn't say congratulations. I reminded him yesterday I was starting the new job today but he replied to other things I was saying and didn't acknowledge it.

This morning family and my best friend have sent me good luck messages but nothing from him. AIBU?

The relationship is good otherwise so doesn't seem like a hill to die on but feels a bit disappointing. I almost think he thinks 'she'll obviously do well' but hasn't verbalised it.

Good question @MsMarch

We've been together for a while and he doesn't usually do things that upset me. He's thoughtful in lots of little ways and I feel he treats me well.

As I said, his family doesn't celebrate milestones. He has already said it bothers him sometimes. I want a relationship where they are observed.and celebrated.
