Dating with ASD: Fear of triggering a meltdown in the other person

My boyfriend doesn’t have autism but he is adhd, and we do certainly trigger each other. But we always talk about it after and are still going strong!! It takes a lot of work, just like any relationship. But it’s definitely possible :)

I have autism

All the time . But if you really love them then I say go for it

I am actively trying to marry someone else who has ASD and yeah occasionally we do trigger each other but it's pretty rare and we've managed to navigate it, just like anything else in a relationship it just takes communication and collaboration. We live platonically with a third autistic person who almost never triggers either of us. It also means that in the majority of occasions where only one of us is having issues the other understands what's happening better.

Hi and I never had this experience but sometimes I get nervous like if I were to date someone and I tell them I have austim, would they still be interested. I still struggle with accepting my austim .

I worry all the time Plus I'm grateful for having friends with the same situation as me.

Sorry it was supposed to say wanting me to date them but I used speech to text so it didn't say what I wanted it to say lol 😂
