Once your brain accepts them as a safe person they stop costing you spoons.

being with my partner feels like being alone. most people don't understand what kind of compliment that is

Helps if you are both autistic. You save spoons using direct communication and share the taxing chores or devide them equitably to your individual strengths and weaknesses. Good luck

I don’t have to mask with him, this is the first person in my life that I have been able to be 100% myself with, being with him replenishes my spoons bc he understands me

That’s why I don’t understand how people can be poly , simply because dating one person seems stressful enough

Parallel play. My partners and I are long distance for now and we frequently call to sit in silence and do separate things.

Communicating boundaries and needs. Letting them know (if they aren’t also neurodiverse) that that’s how your brain works and you’ll do what you can when you can, that you WANT to be a good partner,

he is extremely patient and does not feel offended when I tell him I'm tired of smelling you/ looking at you and waits for me to come to him for attention. He's happy he gets to play his video games

I’m not sure if I am autistic or not. But no matter who you are, if being around the person is highly draining then they’re not the one for you. What I can manage is enough for him.

She understands some days i just don't have the energy. I love being with her rather than being alone, and she'd rather me rest with her there than run on empty trying to fake having a high spoons day

AConspiracyOfNerds :
doesn't cost spoons cuz he gives spoons, in addition we're both weird as hell and autistic so I don't gotta change anything. Mostly just gotta convince him to accept a compliment and let me spoil him

He is my safe space. I allow myself to be honest and authentic in how I feel on the daily, him allowing that on his end as well is what I needed.

He doesn’t cost any spoons. We became one “entity” or “spirit” i dont see him as and outside person. Its hard to understand until it happens 💜

I had a partner that sadly passed away in 2023 and he was my safe place so instead of taking my spoons he did pretty much recharge me

honestly in my experience my partner helps me feel better in every way and it gives me more spoons being around her/thinking I'm doing something to help her. I feel more like myself when I'm with....
