Does anyone have any experiences, frustrations or advice that they would like to share about maintaining long term relationships or starting over as someone with autism?
I‘m a millennial woman, and keeping people in my life has been a lifelong struggle. Today my spouse wants a divorce after 16 years of marriage. The reason stated is because of autism. I’m introverted, like to plan things, tend to lose focus and it’s like people just eventually get bored of you.
I have no family support, grew up in the foster system. I would lose my health insurance, home and everything in a divorce. Friends are through my spouse.
Feel free to PM me too if you are interested in talking. Could use a friend or maybe advice trying to start my life over somewhere else that I can get healthcare. I also happen to be learning German but open to talking with anyone.


I’m sorry that you current situation has got to that point.
I’m probably on the autism spectrum and my wife has ADHA - this can make for some interesting home life with our two kids (one is probably undiagnosed ADHD, and the other has generalized anxiety).
I guess I don’t have any real advise, just know that there are people out there that will listen to you if you need to vent.
