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

    Most of the time they can write. But initially it can be a compleat shutdown. I’ll check with them if there are things i can prepare to have in a “no talkie” kit.

    Thanks for the tips
