If you are neurotypical, and have a partner with autism,  you may be surprised if you discover that your relationship doesn't fit the range of norms of some other couples you know.  An autistic partner might have traits that sometimes require a different way of blending lives than couples who are both neurotypical.  Autistic people may have heightened anxiety, difficulty with schedules, organizing multiple tasks, and social small talk.  

Neurotypical partners may feel confused about the challenges their autistic partners face.  They may wonder how to better understand their partners and provide support for them.  They may wonder how to find their ideal expression of emotional intimacy as a couple.

If you are feeling you would like support in improving your relationship, I encourage you to schedule a free, 20 minute online consultation with me, to see if we would work well together in reaching your goals.
