Neurodiverse people often express love in their own ways.
How do neurodivergent people express their feelings
It's important to recognize that each neurodivergent person is unique, making it impossible to capture all experiences in one article.
However, there are some common patterns and similarities.
For instance, some autistic individuals have sensory sensitivities that can make giving and receiving hugs uncomfortable or overwhelming.
If someone doesn't understand neurodivergent love languages, they might mistakenly believe that an autistic person doesn't love them because they are uncomfortable with hugs.
Conversely, an autistic person might feel pressured to hug because "that's how we show affection," regardless of their comfort level.
Therefore, it's crucial to ask if the other person is comfortable with physical affection.
A neurodivergent person might also invite you to "hang out" without any specific plan, simply enjoying a hobby, reading, or sharing space with you.
When an autistic person, or any neurodivergent individual with special interests, shares information about their passions, it signifies their desire to share an important part of their life with you.
There are many ways to show love and affection. It's always a good idea to ask your partner about their love language to better understand and connect with them.
