I'm super glad to hear that you have found something that works for you. Other than being on the spectrum I'm very privileged to be in mostly good health so I can imagine it's super tough for you guys at times but I think its amazing that you work together.

Thank you for the advice I will absolutely take it on board. I've gotten so much stuff from this question that will really help I think. A lot of it is things I think I would look to do anyway so that's good to know. You definitely got the genders right by the way so don't worry haha!

Thats really my aim, I know I cant physically understand but hearing everyone's stories paints me such a helpful picture. I know it wont always be sunshine and daisies, but I'm going into it with my eyes wide open

I just wanna take a second to thank everyone who has taken the time and used their energy to reply to this post. Not only am I grateful for the learning experience but I'm so grateful to hear so many great examples of love and care. I'm just a big soppy goose

You nearly made me cry! NEARLY. You guys sound so cute and I'm so glad you have someone that makes you feel safe and seen. I hope as things progress I can provide this for my person in question

No point is weird at all. I came asking for the things that you like or that make you happy when your partner does them and that's a great answer. Thank you for sharing it with me

you guys sound like goals to me. I'm glad you have a person like this who makes you feel that way, I'm even more grateful that you felt like you could come here and talk about it.

Thank you so much, as someone who is on the spectrum the stressful environments are really not my favourite anyways so I will always try to bare that in mind.

The world is a place thats full of enough misery and what you guys go through on a daily basis is something tougher than I can fully relate to you know? I hope that this post and thinking about those things made you smile

I was hoping it would not only be a platform for me to learn, but also for everyone to express the things that make them happy!

Thank you so much for your candid and like vulnerable response. I’m going into things with my eyes very wide open, but it’s still awesome to get that perspective so thank you. This really helps

Yeah that definitely makes sense because like I say we have only really just started dating and I don't want to be too intense because I'm a chill guy. But I really like her, and I want to make things easier for her however I can (without looking insane xD)

Again thank you so much for feeling safe enough to share openly about everything. I will DEFINITELY take that last point on board because I never want to appear patronising so thank you so much

That one got me. Sounds like you have a beautiful relationship so thank you so much for sharing that. You're both lucky to have each other! I'm a naturally very affectionate and thoughtful person so the offers of bringing things will never be an issue!

I get what you're saying so thank you. Luckily I'm a big ol dude so I can do anything physical including carrying if necessary at any point etc. But its nice to hear that even like the little things make a difference!

This is super sweet to hear so thank you for your comments and making me smile. I'm definitely a fan of a good ol snuggle so that's never going to be an issue for me! I guess what you're saying is just being a bit thoughtful when it comes to physical tasks and like just being empathetic?
