I never thought I would have a healthy relationship with ASD+ADHD. I found someone who is my equal and we have an extremely fulfilling relationship that's full of both amazing fun moments and frustrating ones, but we always understand each other. Which helps with our son as well, as he's a carbon copy of us.
This is awesome and is how i feel about my current relationship. We are only a few months in but it just feels right. We both have asd and adhd and she has a few extras. We both take meds to help manage it but we just... Understand each other.
Obviously it can fail, but we sure hope it doesnt.
Imo, a relationship with a mental disorder needs an understanding of the disorders of both parties. Both people having asd is kinda what i needed in my life as we understand eachother and our own quirks and know what helps or how to deal with them
