A spectronaut on his way to the planet of the apes

Book excerpt: "That's a special bra!" No woman wants to hear this sentence when her boyfriend sees her in her underwear for the first time. If you're in a relationship with someone who has an autism spectrum disorder, it's better to question social norms than to take them seriously anyway. Speaking of "norms", I'm not completely normal either, by the way, because: you can be crazy even without a diagnosis! So what is it like to be in a relationship with a man who ticks differently in many ways? And that while you actually have enough to do taming your own monkeys in your head? Honestly, it's refreshing, enriching and valuable, but also incredibly challenging and exhausting. Creativity and patience are just as important as a sense of humor and healthy self-esteem.
