Hi!

I’m autistic (diagnosed) and we (I + partner) think my partner is too(undiagnosed). From time to time, when my partner get overstimulated, they go non-verbal.

It is something that does not happen very often(the non-verbal bit) so they feel a bit unsure how to handle it. Especially as I am the first person who has been accepting of them going non-verbal.

I have never experienced it myself, but I want to help them feel more comfortable. I have no issue with them going non verbal, but they can get frustrated about going non verbal.

Do you have any advice for them and/or me?

Thank you in advance

    Ye sounds like a good idea. And ye i am hoping to do that with the info and advice this community has given. Will look into the cards thing. My partner might like that (especially if we make them pretty).
