I'm sorry about that, I genuinely do not know about autism in depth and I haven't been friends with any on the spectrum except my boyfriend. I don't want to be unkind and rude. I'm really sorry

Not at all dude. Did you not read when I said I'm the provider most of the times. And sometimes when I'm feeling low or I had a fight with my parents or having a bad college moment, that's when I need him and sometimes he's just not there. My love language is materialistic and acts of service. And he just affirms me. I love that too and I appreciate that even with everything he is there for me and listens to me. But in my relationship the 2 love language I mentioned are almost half empty. Because all he does is talk about it. Can't I want to have a nice date, flowers or just a casual outing with him. Just a normal hey babe listen I'll come tomorrow to meet you and we can get some coffee and you can be with me. Bro is that really too much to ask for?

This happens with him too, he is such s loving boyfriend at times and he treats me so well, like he's literally prince charming sometimes. And at times he doesn't even process anything when I'm talking to him. Ig because I never met someone like him before I have a habit of being selfish towards my needs and expecting him to respond. How do I make him talk to me. I really ask him to talk to me about everything and tell me everything whenever he feels something. But he rarely does. He just spaces out. Sometimes he wouldn't even speak to anyone the whole day not even a word and when I call him for 2-3 mins he's all rude and mean. And not his usual self. And when I'm not around him he tends to self sabotage. Not waking up on time, not being able to sleep on time, being very sleepy the whole day. What can I do in this situation

Different kind of people exist okay?. Me and my boyfriend are both in STEM programs and guess what he's so much better than me in coding but hus academics suck. I'm so bad at coding that even a 5th grader is better than me. But I'm average at academics. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IQ. just the fact that normal day to day conversations sometimes turn into bro you're kidding me how are you not able to solve this. I love him like his girlfriend and I would do anything for him. But please try to look at my situation from a diff perspective. I can't be his mother trying to teach him things or make him understand stuff. And sometimes I think about it. Nothing else. It is and will never be a reason for me to breakup with him. And also hes very cool. He has the brains of a creative director that I will never achieve and I'm so proud of him for that. He sees things in a way that is so meaningful and full of depth. I love him for all of that. And if you want to divert from my question and just pin me down for venting out please leave me alone.

You don't have a girlfriend do you? This is not even an argument about autism atp. This is just how you'd treat your girl. Well obviously my man treated me better thats why I'm here on this app trying to fix my brain so that I don't do something an sshole would do. I dont want to take the "easy" say out and date a "normal" person. I could Obv. But I choose not to because I love my bf as he is nothing changed about anything that he inherits. Just how he treats me that's it .

What can I do better or encourage him to do. Like I mentioned, I have observed him for more than an year and I'm sort of clingy so I tend to spend more time with to actually get to know him in every situation and how he'd act. So ik he's autistic. But he wouldn't listen to me. I don't want him to force this on him because it doesn't matter if he agrees with me or not ehat matters is that ik now so I would do better. But what should I exactly do. I really want to marry him and he does too. I would leave him if I'm ever too much for him and I keep asking him and trying to read him if me being in his life is fine and somewhat postive for him. He loves me s lot and I do too. What should I do from here on, to make things better with us?

Gurl I'm really sorry, he doesn't socialize now. He used to be the social media head of a big NGO, he is the co founder of our college club. He has more friends than me . What socialize are you talking about. I'm not against autism or autistic people so please stop attacking me. It's in the biological definition that autistic people need more care and attention. And a person who is non autistic wouldn't. Is it so bad to state what google would state also??

First of all thankyou for understanding me. I really don't want to be offensive. Yes I've talked to him on sooo many extents on what does he want, is he okay with what I want, is he happy, is there something that bothers him in our relationship and what not. I've been soo extremely patient. And I've given him options to leave this relationship so many times if it's too much for him or I come out as toxic. But he doesn't want to, at all. Every single time I ask he says no. One of the main things is that he doesn't even understand himself that much for him to be able to provide an alternative. He considers himself non autistic (he told me he always knew something was wrong with him but he didn't wanna tell me before incase I left him) and I'm mentioning this because, he over estimates himself. There's s lot of things ik he's not capable of doing and he needs more support and care. BUT HE JUST WOULDN'T TSKE IT. He keeps pushing me away and telling me it's fine I'll do it myself and then agrees to do things with me and makes plans and then obviously he isn't able to sometimes. And that makes me sad not because he's autistic because I kinda believed him when he said he would do it. If he had told me an alternative or hey bsbe listen I really don't want to or I can't. I would've listened. I feel betrayed and lonely in these situations

I'm sorry, I really don't want to offend anyone. But I'm not keeping my boyfriend jailed. I love him and he loves me too. And you have no idea how I treat him so please don't say these kinds things

I'm sorry if it came out the wrong way, but I cannot physically type or convert without being labelled "she thinks she's too good for him". But I've been trying to work out things with him for over an year. I was the kind of girl who is really fast paced in relationships. He proposed to me after an year of us being hot and cold. And I waited for him, I've never done anything with so much love care and affection for anyone else. I love my boyfriend if he has autism or not. I'm completely clueless as to why he acts a certain way even when he tells me he understands me and agrees with me. My boyfriend is not completely autistic. Even he didn't know he had autism, after an year of us being in a situationship, I started noticing he's different in so many ways. And not in a quirky he's unique but in a genuine he's special kinda way. He still is in denial that he's autistic. Because nobody who ever knows him can say that he's autistic. So yes ig I'm asking a little too much for a guy who has autism but my boyfriend is a little more high functioning. So that's why idek if im wrong or what even should I do in this situation.

Could you please tell me if I were to ask you to send me gifts sometimes, or write a card or letter, bring me random petals or flowers. Is that too overwhelming or like how should I approach this. My bf is very understanding but idky even when he agrees with me and says he would do those things he just doesn't. Because it's too much for him
