Autistic Husband

Ellie

My husband is on the spectrum- he’s very high functioning Asperger’s. He’s the sweetest guy, but when he hurts my feelings, he literally can’t understand what he did to upset me. It’s so hurtful. Does anyone else have an autistic spouse or close family member that can relate? How do you emotionally handle the fact that their brain works in such a different way that it’s impossible for them to understand your feelings?
