My partner and I both have autism but whereas I’ve learned social cues pretty well over the years and am kinda hypersensitive to them, they haven’t. When they misread a situation and say something rude, however unintentionally, I get REALLY anxious

And I’ve kind of been struggling with it lately. Sometimes the things they say or how they talk to people is rude even if I know it’s not intentional. I don’t know how or if I should say anything in the moment and I don’t like that sometimes other people leave a conversation with my partner not having had the best experience even though they are a wonderful person

i think that’s just something you have to ask your partner about, if they want you to signal them or cut in during those times
