Every autistic couple has one who is the C3PO and one who is the R2D2

I wanted to thank you for your wonderful post about seeing more disabled couples in media. I'm disabled and ambulatory without assistance and my darling wife was and used assistive devices all through our marriage. We did the canes--> Rollator --> power chair -->

i'll never get over how strangely ableds would treat us. Dee used to joke that we got away with holding hands in public because everyone thought I was her nurse. Used to hear an old lyric in my head a lot: they don't know about us, and they've never heard of love.

We find a way. Love finds a way.

ps you are a doll.

pps my sweetie heard me singing along with the car radio when we were first together and she never, ever sang to it again bc she wanted to hear me instead.

sorry to flood you. thanks again.

This is literally the sweetest ask I've ever been sent wtf 😭, Holy shit I completely forgot the whole "people automatically assuming you aren't in a romantic relationship thing", that is so real. My partner and I both stim but he gets a bit more... stuck? with his? He was happy stimming at some stuffed animals and while I waited this woman literally came up next to me and was like "oh- *hand on heart*, how precious 😊" like we were watching my kid doing a little dance in the store. Her face when I was chipperly and loudly was like "That's my boyfriend! *turns to him* hey love we gotta get going :)" was so fucking priceless
