A man who can’t meet you emotionally… can’t. He just can’t.
But he still may be a good partner. Perhaps.
Everywhere I go—and I’ve talked about this before—I meet women who’ve divorced men, left men, or are still in relationships with men they’ve just discovered are actually clinically on the autism spectrum.
If you’ve ever watched Love on the Spectrum, it’s a fabulous show. You’ll learn so much—how people on the spectrum learn to care, to respond, to match with others… or how hard it can be to find someone who can keep up.
Because there is a spectrum.
And I’m going to say this:
We’re all on a spectrum.
All of us.
We all exist on a spectrum of how we take in information, how we process, and how we respond. We all have different skill levels.
People on the autism spectrum often have incredible intellectual skills.
Many have thoughtful, deeply compassionate emotional intelligence. They’re not less than—they’re different.
Just different than our skills.
And most of us are blind to what’s right in front of our faces.
We react instead of respond.
We shut down when we actually want to open up.
Is this something that’s showing up in your own love life?
Are you with a man who wants to love you, but just doesn’t quite meet you emotionally?
I’d love for you to join me live on Siren Island for our next MasterClass.
