I think marital conflict of this intensity arises in absence of ASD too. And the usual caution goes when speaking about ASD, the individual differences are great. Even though many ASD find conforming antithetical to their will, there are also many high-maskers who make a sport of conforming. Many unwittingly as a survival instinct. Underneath, they're treading water. > And every fire is accompanied by, “yes you were in the right, but tact, but choose your battles, but can we really afford the consequences?” From as much as I've witnessed, this is a feature (and common plaint) of many relationships.
