This is a great community, and I really appreciate it as a spouse of an autistic person. My husband is not on lemmy, and I'll send him an occasional meme or article. And I learn a lot from posts on there.

Thank you! I'm happy you find it helpful and that you are accepting and compassionate with your husband.

He's my big teddy bear, so he gets all the love. Reading c/autism's posts helps me to understand his brain better. That he may express empathy differently, and it doesn't make it any less heartfelt and authentic. That I can truly be direct, and he appreciates it. That it helps him to know the plans ahead of time... etc. Communities like yours bring more harmony and understanding to the world.
