The Dark Side of Autism | My Perspective on Cassandra Syndrome

Описание: This is a video about The Dark Side Of Autism in a neurodiverse relationship. In this insightful and thought-provoking video, I will share my personal take on what it truly means to me and how I acknowledge the complexities of Cassandra Syndrome. I will discuss why I feel that most couples in which the non-autistic spouse suffers from this syndrome are affected by the dark side that creeps into our homes and into our lives, often unnoticed. Our partners, who are diagnosed later in life, frequently do not embrace the late diagnosis of autism, leading to an array of challenges and misunderstandings. We often find ourselves in a situation where we are not believed, and comorbidities in our partners often come into play, complicating our experiences further. I will dive deep into the heart of this issue and explore the concept of death by papercuts, illustrating how small, seemingly insignificant moments accumulate over time, impacting our lives with our ASD partners. Join me as I navigate through these difficult topics and shed light on the emotional and psychological toll that often goes unnoticed in neurodiverse relationships. Together, we will uncover the truths and challenges faced, and perhaps find a way to foster understanding and compassion in our journeys.
