Fantastic video, I'm excited to see what other ones you do! And I'm very grateful for you sharing such important information. In my situation, im the ASD one and my partner is the ADHD one, so we both struggle, just in different ways! Your last point about looking after yourself.. I had this conversation with my therapist a few years back and we came up with the analogy of plane safety announcements. If you don't put your own oxygen mask on first in an emergency, you can't help put on anyone else's. Its so easy in any situation to put others before yourself because it feels like the right thing to do, but if you don't look after yourself first, you won't have enough energy left over to care for your partner. This is one of the biggest life lessons I've learnt, and whilst i do still struggle with it, remembering this analogy takes out some of the guilt and makes it easier to look after myself
I love how your partner supports you. It’s amazing to see. Do you ever feel guilty that he has to do more and would you say you try to make up for it in other areas where you have strengths?

yeah, exactly, you're right! just got to make sure you're always taking care of yourself as well as the people you love 🖤
Good advice for people who don't completely understand. Sounds to me you're very detail-oriented because I'm detail-oriented, and autistic, as well.
Love this video. So very helpful for everyone. Thank you for sharing ❤️ 🙂
so glad you found it helpful 🖤
