It's tough for us too . . .

Thank you for your response to my post. I hope it may encourage you that I have an NT daughter (very NT) who has been married to an AS man for sixteen years, (they lived together for two years before that). There were things neither of them understood until they learned the nature of their essential, intrinsic differences. Every year since, their relationship has grown stronger and happier. Mutual respect, mutual acceptance, and mutual affection grew stronger as they knew better.
That is lovely to hear . .. . . .i also understand that if we have an AS parent we are more attracted to a partner who is neurodiverse. I wish them many more years of happiness. Mutual respect and understanding seems to be the key certainly. Take care

I sense that this is more than just a "friendship" with you. I sense you want something more. Usually, people speak of "insecurities" like you describe when they are in romantic relationships.
And there seems to be a sensual element to your relationship which never occurred when I was friends with a woman.

I think our relationship is probably fairly unique for all sorts of reasons. Do I want more? I'm not sure . . . . My insecurity is from being a very tactile, emotional woman who is used to more reciprocation in my deep friendships. However I reached out to him Today and he responded within 2 minutes with a caring message. So when I stop thinking of myself I see he shows he cares in many ways, just not as demonstrative as I am accustomed to.
