Hiya, just late self ID and waiting full assessment... But it's so hard to cope with what I thought was a NT partner until of late and although we are weird in our own way, we now click together... But still resentment as I need my needs met and their needs need to be met too, but my autismo doesn't like it... Any advice?

I found life easier when I could rely on my partner to keep track of medical appointments.

It must have been really hard for my ADHD partner to adopt the techniques she has to keep organised, on focus and functional.
She handled a lot of things for the both of us.
Her techniques never worked for me back when my autistic part counterbalanced my Addie side, and even less so now the aspie's AWOL.

I am barely functional now I'm solo, but I can pretend for a while..
