S3 E6 - Autism and relationships: what changed everything for me.

In this episode of Glitchy Switch, I talk about the first big thing that hit me after my autism diagnosis: what it means for relationships.  I share how the diagnosis is helping me reframe years of relational anxiety, why I’ve often gone the opposite of the “blunt autistic stereotype”, and how understanding my wiring is already changing the way I show up — with less shame, and a bit more self-respect.  In this episode: Why autism explained so much of the anxiety I’ve felt around relationships. The classic “autistic bluntness” stereotype — and why my pattern has been different. How I’ve built a social “ruleset” over decades, and the emotional cost of running it. What happens when my logic meets someone else’s social shorthand — and why that can hurt so much. What’s already started to shift since diagnosis.
