How can I tell if my autistic partner loves me?

[Mytimeoneday]

I love him. But what would be the signs on his side? Or should I never expect any great declaration of love! All previous neurotypical exes have been more forthcoming so I'm confused

Have you said “I love you” to him? It’s usually how it works, even with us ND folk… we’re not aliens.

Edit: also read up on autism, autistic people do have the same emotions/feelings as everyone else… they’re not androids.

Ask him?

@LittleRedYarny I just wanted to know if he never says it, does that mean he doesn't

We can't tell you that because we're not him. I'm autistic, and when I've been in love with someone I just tell them. Other people (autistic or allistic) may not. You can only tell be saying "I love you" to him, and if he doesn't respond and it's important to you, ask him.

There’s a book I’ve never read about love language's. My autistic husbands love language is deeds not words. When I say deeds, I mean the endless mundane yet supportive things he does for me rather then lavish flower presentations and being flown to Paris.

If he didn't love you would he stay with you?

Excuse me what? 🤔

Reported as hate speech

OP what do you mean by 'great declaration' of love? Many men autistic or otherwise aren't gushy but do caring things.

My autistic husband never lets me open a door or walk on the edge closest to the street. 😍 He also gives me lots of hugs and cuddles which I adore!
@CoralPanda you can f* off my husband understands me perfectly well. Wouldn't be with him otherwise. You're either a troll or showing your ignorance. Educate yourself.

But what I said is hateful? My best friend has an autistic son she loves him but he can never show that back. It’s really hard and horrible for her.

I didn’t mean to upset people I’ll ask them to get rid of my post, just didn’t want someone having such a hard time like my friend!!

All autistic people are different , and also you don't know whether he can show that back on not. Your alleged experience with one person doesn't mean you know about all autistic people
Kindly educate yourself or get off the thread.

Dont mean to upset people... yet make discriminatory generalisations and then try to defend that... jeez

Wowzer! Now there's a...bold statement 🍿

Bold? Completely fucking stupid, goady and offensive bullshit more like!

Bullshit.

Ableist bullshit.

Im with an autistic man, 6 months so early days.

He hasn't said I love you but I feel as though he does. He does lots of caring and romantic actions that make me feel he does. Do you feel he does OP?

I would like to hear and say the words at some point though

Yeah obviously 😂

Just because you've had very limited experience of the types of expressions of love, doesn't meant autistic people can't/don't feel and show love.

Look I’m sorry I asked them to get rid of my post I don’t know what else I can do. My son how downs I don’t hate disabled people

How about you go and educate yourself instead if writing discriminatory BS. There's absolutely no truth to what you've written. Its disgusting hate speech.

I've reported you. You clearly know nothing about autism.

This whole thread is horrible. Questioning if someone is capable of love.... disgusting.
