Just in time for St. Valentine’s Day, AsIAm has published its ‘Autistic Love Languages Guide’.
Love languages are how individuals express or receive affection from others, whether they are a romantic partner, family or friends. Each person can express their affection in different ways, as well as receive affection, such as someone likes compliments more than hugs.
Different people have different needs. When two people have different love languages things can get complicated, even going as far as accidently appearing they might not care about the other person by not using their own love language. There are even times where some express one love language, yet feel most loved in a different love language. The same can be said for Autistic people.
Autistic people have their own love language different from Neurotypical people. By learning this love language, it allows Autistic people to give and receive love without compromising their comfort or safety. This can also help their loved ones adjust their expectations and recognise the affection that the Autistic person is offering them.
