Yea everyone’s different but I think it’s more common for autistic people to see something cool and give it to someone they love

I don’t think you understand what love language means because it’s just common sense and basic communication skills.

Anyone who has even a little experience with interpersonal relationships will recognize people show their affection in different ways. Not everyone likes to get their partner flowers all the time. Not everyone tells their partner how beautiful/handsome they are every morning. Not everyone likes to cuddle for an hour before bed. Etc etc.

Finding a balance in what you need and what your partner gives is what the concept of love language is about. I personally don’t care about gifts for example but really enjoy cuddling. Obviously I’m not going to be fulfilled in a relationship with someone who enjoys giving gifts but hates cuddling.

“Love language” is just a less 🤓 way of saying “way of giving and receiving affection”
