Incredibly well done. Thank you.

Excellent video! I especially appreciate the Neurodivergent Love Languages mention, your transparency in including trauma (so sorry!!😩) and how you deal with the unfortunately-lingering effects ✨together✨ - and that you were so considerate to include multiple content warnings. ❤️

Let's get real. My late autistic wife was very promiscuous. (“Promiscuity is frequently observed in the behaviour of women with Asperger’s Syndrome” from the book “Asperger’s Syndrome and Sexuality” by Isabelle Henault, PhD, Psychologist)

Wonderful video. Really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing your stories.

No offense, but how is any of this different from a non-autistic adult relationship? If you don't do some or even many of these things in a "normal" relationship regularly, then you won't have a relationship for very long. It may be easier to express something like "I really didn't like what you did there just now." for "normals" (whatever that species is), but I am not even sure about that. It took me a couple of tries to leave that kind of thing to the left side of my brain rather than have the right side go nuts over the situation. Once I and my partners had learned to communicate these emotional needs and triggers rationally, it was all good.

Let's get real. I'm halfway through the video and you still haven't mentioned the massive issue of alexithymia. I'm giving up.

6 minutes in. I'm giving up. Both of you "had previous relationahip" Can you recommend a skills path for someone who is so clueless that no one has ever made a pass at him?

😊
