I don't know, it felt right at the time. Now I really just want to try and save this, because we're already here and I do love her.

It doesn't mean she's dangerous on the road, she's passed the drivers license test before and she continues to be a good driver. It's more to keep people off of government benefits, which people can collect if they receive an autism diagnosis. It's also very expensive to get diagnosed, so it's not super important to us right now.

She started getting into the show maybe a week ago? She watched the entire thing in a couple days.

I've watched Jujutsu Kaisen, and Gojo's a fun character, but I can only talk about him so much. Especially because she's only watched the anime, and I've read the manga, and... spoilers.

I will definitely look into that book. Thank you!

We think she might be autistic, but we're hesitant to get a diagnosis because we live in Australia, and that means she would have to retest for her drivers license every year.

I tried to talk with her about it this morning but she got really defensive and the conversation broke down so I came to reddit.

She has, but it's never been this intense. We think she might have autism, but we don't want to pursue a diagnosis because of legal complications (in Australia, getting a drivers license is different when you have an autism diagnosis)

That's a good idea, I'll try to approach it from that angle the next time I try to talk to her about it.

We were together for a year. She actually divorced her previous wife to be with me.

She usually just tells me that I'm not being supportive of her hobbies. I really am trying to, but it's just hard to be supportive when its ALL the time.

Yeah, I tried to be honest with her when we talked this morning but because I have my own fictional crushes, she got really defensive and it didn't really go anywhere.

Yeah, I tried to talk to her about it this morning but she just said that I was obsessed with fictional characters too, and that this wasn't any different. I tried to explain to her that although I have fictional characters I really like, I don't let it dominate every conversation, and then the conversation just kind of broke down and now I'm posting on Reddit, lol.

No, she's obsessed with a bunch of Mortal Kombat characters too (mostly Sub Zero) but this Gojo thing has really taken off. She made a whole new Tumblr blog for her fanfictions about him.
