My husband is a neurodiverse and he isn't lot of work but he says I am sometimes. He has anxiety, three different learning disabilities, brain damage, and seizures.

If you are in a current relationship, answer the polling question about your current partner. If you are not in a relationship but you had one before, you can answer the poll about your ex.

My spouse has ADHD, OCD, mild anxiety issues, depression... He also has some trauma/self esteem issues due to bullying as a kid. He also has some hoarding issues with his OCD/abandonment issues.

He can be a lot of work sometimes. But I can be a lot of work as well.

My current girlfriend & my two exes are neurodiverse but my 2nd girlfriend & my current are both on the spectrum. They are/were a lot of work at times but I'm an Aspie who actually loves being supportive within a relationship & is more attracted to people who are needy/clingy & have other issues.
