I have adhd and my girlfriend has autism I think it works well do you think it’s a good combination?

[Anonymous]

She’s very smart talks normally she’s capable autism is a spectrum she just has a hard time interpreting emotions and expressing certain things otherwise you would never no but she does think differently I love that tho I’m just wondering if anyone else has tried this neurodivergent combination

Yo, that's an interesting combo for sure! I don't have personal experience with it, but from what I know, I could see how ADHD and autism could actually complement each other in a relationship.

Like, you said your girl is super smart and just has a bit of a hard time with the emotional/expressive side of things. And you, with your ADHD, are probably able to kinda balance that out and help her feel more understood, even if she has trouble putting it into words herself.

And on the flip side, her unique way of thinking could probably help ground you and give you a fresh perspective on things when your ADHD has you all over the place, you know? Sounds like you two might just balance each other out really well.

As long as you're both patient, communicate openly, and respect each other's needs, I don't see why it couldn't be an awesome relationship. The key is just making sure you're both learning from each other and not trying to "fix" the other person, you feel me? Embrace those neurodivergent differences!

I'd say go for it, bro. If it's working for you two, don't overthink it. Relationships are all about finding that right match, regardless of labels or diagnoses. If you guys click and make each other happy, that's all that really matters.

Depends on arguments, and how you argue resolve it at all, and the dynamic - does someone have to lead, does someone always carry the relationship more and resent it deep down - and do you actually get along and match each other or match in compatibility even if different slightly.

Two lefties don't always breed a right lol 😂 😆

[NicholasRedone]

Even though in my brain as a left hander, how odd it's not a guarantee almost lol 😆

[DishLady]

WHY are you defining yourselves based on your disabilities? Is that how you see yourself? As a walking, talking disability?

She has autism. She's not mentally incapacitated.

Don't make it all about the spectrum, kid. It's rude and doesn't do justice to either one of you as human beings capable of living a robust and loving life.

I think if you a other comments I made you’ll see I didn’t mean it like that

[Agape93]

Two neurodivergent people understand each other easier

[Asker]

We do get each other I feel like i love her🥰

[Agape93]

Good. Cherish it

You guys can give each other a “special SPECIAL” hug

It has nothing to do with the fact that you are both handicapped. It has to do with your feelings of love for one another.

[Asker]

Is adhd really a handicap and to that effect her autism the way it presents I wouldn’t say it is either and just for the record I don’t think you meant that in a bad way I’m not offended I’m just curious about your opinion

[Opinion Owner]

No, I am simply trying to help you out and tell you that it has more to do with love. You two have a strong connection formed by loving feelings for one another. I know that your relationship will last because you two help each other instead of focusing on your conditions.

[Asker]

I know you weren’t insulting us it’s ok I do find we can relate because of many overlapping symptoms and even the ones that vary seem to balance each other out I’ve dated I’ve said I love you to people in the past but if I’m being honest I’ve never loved anyone as much as I love her it’s only been about a year but if I can I’m gonna stay with her indefinitely I don’t really want anyone else I want this to be my last partner

Then you must let her know how you feel and proceed forward down the road with a marriage proposal if that is something you and her desire as well.

[Asker]

We’re talking about getting a place if that goes well and everything is still perfect after a bit I plan on asking her she doesn’t know that yet tho

[Asker]

She knows I love her I tell her too often if anything but she says she likes it so it’s ok lol

[Opinion Owner]

Yes, it is best to surprise her. I have always found that women love when my surprise them with gifts and love letters. I think you are making the right decision by moving in with one another to see how things go.

if it works, then it works, enjoy :D
