I am undiagnosed (but currently being tested) aspergers and diagnosed chronic depression/anxiety.
My issue is that my boyfriend of almost 4 years has a lot of trouble understanding why I sometimes say the things I say and that I don't react to things as much as he wants me to. I try to explain that it is just the way that I am but he feels like I am putting my issues before his feelings on things. It's not the case but often I see much deeper into issues and don't deal with them the way he wants me to and it frustrates him. How can i help him understand that this is just me and this is how I function? He thinks this is something I can simply alter but I just don't want to. And I worry if I am diagnosed then he will not be able to understand my specific condition and how it determines how I feel and react to things.
Help please!
