Have you struggled to help your counselor understand the true nature of your relationship because you believe one of you may be autistic? Most well-intended couple counseling techniques are ineffective with couples like you because they are insight-based and emotion-focused, both of which are challenges for someone who is autistic. I can offer insight into what it means to be autistic and what it means to be neurotypical, so that you can see where growth and change might be possible. Together, we can identify communication strategies that will be more effective and goals that make sense to both of you. You are not alone.
It is important to remember that we are talking about differences, and not mental illness or character defects. Identifying, understanding, and accommodating these differences are essential for growth. My second area of expertise is working with high intelligence (I am a member of Mensa). Often in my practice, autism and high intelligence come together.
I can offer you support and guidance online through a secure video platform designed for telemedicine. We can work from two or three separate locations. Please contact me by email. I am unable to return phone calls.
