## Resource

For years, I misunderstood the person I love. I thought silence meant disconnection. I thought bluntness was rudeness. I thought a lack of reaction meant a lack of care. I didn’t realise I was filtering everything through my own lens… and getting it completely wrong. In this episode, we break down 10 behaviours that are often misunderstood in autism — from shutdowns and needing plans, to missing hints and showing love differently. What I once saw as rejection, control, or distance… was actually overwhelm, honesty, and care. This changed our relationship. Less blame, more understanding. Less shame, more compassion. If you’ve ever felt confused, hurt, or unsure how to read someone you love — this one might change everything. 20% off Loop Earplugs: https://www.loopearplugs.com/pages/lp-adhdlove
