that they understand or that they value, you know, what you're shareing and their face is blank, almost like a deer in headlamp. podcast-host

Yeah, I think that's so important. podcast-host

And everybody who's autistic in my life and everybody who has been in my life who's autistic will say, do not read my face. podcast-host

So if you're looking for my face to match my emotions or my words, you're going to be constantly dysregulated. podcast-host

And you know, I didn't learn that until much later and now podcast-host

To process what I told you? podcast-host

How come it took you so long? podcast-host

And and so if we understand, you know, when we're not in that emotional state, if we understand that our partner might need days to process something that takes us minutes. podcast-host
