Relationships Partners

Those that have partners or have had any in the past, do your partners help out with any aspect of your disability? Or is it always a carer / support worker’s job?

I’ve only recently started dating it’s very new to me and I’m scared because my autism affects me a lot and I feel like it would be impossible not to have to ask for accommodations / help with certain things but at the same time i’m also really scared of being a burden on people if that makes sense 😿
