IMPORTANCE OF FINDING THE RIGHT SUPPORT
《正确求助的重要性》
When high-functioning individuals with autism develop a romantic
relationship and eventually start a family, who are responsible for
equipping them adequately to sustain a long-term relationship with
their spouse?
The relationship between children with autism and their parents or
teachers is unlike a monogamous relationship. Parents and teachers
accommodate and empathise with autistic individuals without
expecting the same in return.

However, in a neurodiverse relationship, the wife may bear
most of the heavy lifting due to the autistic partner’s social and
emotional challenges. The male partner may have autistic traits but
is undiagnosed. Compound this with the increased likelihood of
the couple having an autistic child, there may be added challenges
on the wife.
当高功能自闭症患者开始恋爱,并最终组建家庭时,谁为他们提供
足够的支持,使他们能够维持与配偶的长期关系?
自闭症儿童与其父母/老师之间的关系不同于一夫一妻制的关系。
父母和老师包容并同情自闭症患者,但并不期望得到回报。
然而,在与自闭症人士的两性关系中,由于男性自闭症伴侣面临的
社交和情感挑战,妻子可能会承担大部分生活重担。男性伴侣可能
有自闭症特征,但并未确诊。再加上夫妇俩生出自闭症孩子的可能
性增加,妻子可能会面临更多的挑战。
因此,这位以色列作者指出,为了对这样的挑战,应当强调建立家
庭支持网络、终身接受夫妻关系辅导,以及参与认知治疗的重要
性。
Hence, this Israel-based author cites the importance of a network
of family support, lifelong couple counselling and cognitive therapy.
