Happy Valentine’s Day from AsIAm! 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.   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. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/eAav-EiU
