I (an autistic ADHDer) was explaining to my partner how important it is for me to be deeply understood when I’m struggling. She said that’s hard for her to get, because for her the most important thing is that I’m just there for her.
I explained that understanding my internal experience (which is so often different from my external) IS often the # 1 thing I need, even more than actions.
I suspect this deep need to be fully seen is common amongst neurodivergent folks. What do you think?
