  1. Autism in many individuals will come with co-morbid mental health problems, such as bi-polar, depression, schizophrenia etc, as such psychosis as a sign of illness is often compared to fever since it can have multiple causes that are not readily apparent. The psychosis can be brought on by medication, foods and other environmental effects and it might not re-occur. IT is a good idea to talk to your GP about possible co-morbid mental health problems that might arise, the possibility that Autism can trigger mental health problems is very real, that's why it is important that the doctors you see are experienced in autism, many people with autism are wrongly diagnosed as schizophrenic, when a good doctor with knowledge will realise that the autistic person is not able to regulate their anger and use in appropriate language such as I will kill you, when asked how they would do that they will give a well planned out reason, not realising that words effect NT's (neurotypical people) , but there is no intent at all, the crisis team most likely are not trained to understand autism and gave the general term psychosis.
  2. I have Asperger syndrome and been in a relationship for 40 years with a Neurotypical woman, similar problems have arisen over the years, She once asked me 'how I felt when I lost my grandmother', I replied did'nt lose her, i know where she's buried, etc. I dont think your intelligence as deminished because of your relationship, you have expressed yourself very well, but in your line of work you probably know intelligence comes in five distinct catogories, intellectual, emotional, visual, physical and listening. You will be more inteligent emotionally than him and sometimes you may unitentionaly say something that goes over is head and vice versa. So you need to use Rules! Rule One: when speaking to you he must use ice cream words, these are words that make neurotypical people smile like when they eat ice cream. Rule two: investigatative talk is only used by the police. Rule three: All men are lazy. Rule four: When you tell him about your concerns no comment is need (by either partner), just a hug, signal this by saying these are upset words. Remember that when an incident happens neurotypical people have an emotion and take an action. When an incident happens a aspie has a good idea and takes an action. I hope this will help, but at the end of the day relationships work and fail all the time.
