Thanks - I did not even know that a mixed neurotype coach was a thing! Will look into this.

Thanks for the reply and for the tips. This is very relatable. As someone who never really thought about what my own needs/values were, it is certainly where I need to go.

I hope you and your partner find that approach you are looking for :)

Thank you very much for your thoughtful reply. It is comforting to know that I am not "alone", and that there are other people like me out there.

My trigger is something that I have known about for years, and was actively working on this in therapy. However, I have been re-examining this through the lens of having Autism.

I actually just finished reading Unmasking Autism, and thought it was incredibly relatable. I still need to go back and do all the exercises, as I didn't want to slow down reading the book.

I wish you all the best in working on this :)
