▲ 4 r/autism

Been married to undiagnosed autistic man for about 13 years. We have 3 kids. I have become depressed and often angry at the lack of connection and understanding. He does not give affection or compliments, does not provide comfort when im upset or encouragement when i need it. He is not malicious and i try to focus on his strengths - he is physically attractive and good at fixing things, he is a hard worker and an involved dad. We have started couples therapy which has been eye opening and i finally feel like hes trying to listen but at the same time i feel resentful that i should have to deal with someone with so little emotional depth and sense. Anyone on here manage to make a good repair of a broken down AS/NT marriage? Any pointers or suggestions? Thank you
