Hello and an introduction...
Hi, I'm Cristina, and I've just joined and thought I should introduce myself. I'm a writer and journalist in California, and the fiancee and life-partner of Steve
nllmki and we are very happy together :)
We're both on the autistic/Asperger's spectrum, but he's slightly more affected by the sensory aspects of it than I am, we think. I'd be interested in hearing from people here, learning how best to support and encourage him and make our lives happy together.
He and I moderate a community on LJ called
atypical_talent that's intended to celebrate the lives of autistic people and other neuro-atypicals who made accomplishments in some field or another - and we are also writing autobiographical pieces about our lives together.
