How to react to this? Am I being a drama Queen?

6 months in and pretty much every time we have arranged to meet, it’s been me trying to discuss it. Once discussed, he will usually follow up to confirm the day before or say he’s looking forward to it etc. I’ve told him repeatedly that I would like the next time we meet to be arranged before we say goodbye, so we both know when the next date it. He did engage for a bit and now it’s dropped off again.

So here we are, Friday night. Saw him Tuesday morning, said I wanted to see him this weekend... he said yes, that was end of discussion. We’ve had some texts since and he contacted me today, but no mention of the weekend or meeting up. This is a man who has told me he loves me?!

I know I could ask and sort out the arrangement but ffs, why is it always me having to instigate? Am I being a drama Queen? What would you do?

[quote Coffeepot72]@daisychain01 who have I insulted? Is it necessary to be so unpleasant?[/quote]
Your advice to the OP was insulting, telling her to give it a week or two in case he "improves". I recognise this is coming from a position of complete ignorance, but I feel sorry for you if you don't appreciate that someone's neuro-diverse condition is something to "fix", rather than to understand. That's the bit that's insulting, so I'd suggest you find out more and you'll see why it's offensive to hold the attitude you do.

It's so depressing how people just refuse to even try to understand the concept that autism means your brain literally works differently. OP, why do you keep saying things like 'nobody else I know would do that' or 'I wouldn't do that'. That's irrelevant. The entire point is that you're not neurotypical if you're autistic so yes, you will do things that appear strange to neurotypical people

says it better than me.

@MissCrowley you literally said in your own post that your DH told you he loved you a week after you "first met". Now you're claiming knew him as an acquaintance for a year first? LOL. You neurotypical folk are funny, as I said.

My point is that you were so judgemental about someone with autistic traits but are acting as if it's normal to get pregnant with someone you haven't even been dating a month. At least being a bit afraid of commitment and not wanting to date a clinger isn't going to screw up an innocent child's life....procreating with someone you barely know could turn out absolutely terribly.

I've never mentioned anything about autism in my previous posts.
I've mentioned that I am.
Not kind of grasping what you're trying to achieve with me to be perfectly honest so I'm going to leave you to it.

Where are we up to with the autism diagnosis?

Because anybody can declare they have it, doesn't make it true.
