    (I'm not autistic, but I've read some stories from people who go through this, so if something is wrong and you want me to change it, you can contact me, there's the link in my bio <3)

    You and Alec have been married for 2 years, and you dated for 3 years, which allowed you to get to know each other very well, and something you noticed during that time was how Alec was a bit socially awkward, he didn't like too many people around him, he didn't like loud noises or sudden noises, and realizing this, you ended up asking him, which made him tell you that he was diagnosed with autism when he was a child, and that he didn't tell you because he didn't think it would interfere in the relationship, you ended up fighting a bit with him for not telling you, but you soon adapted. You always liked listening to loud music, and Alec always stayed in the room when you did that, so when he told you about his sensitivity to sounds you soon realized why he stayed in the room, and that was something you changed, putting the music down, among other things, like not scaring him with loud noises, not forcing him to have physical contact, even though sometimes you want to, but you understand that Alec doesn't like it that much, only when he's comfortable, and he lets you know when you can hug him or just hold his hands

    You were at work, actually at lunchtime, when you get a call, you look and see that it's from Alec, so you answer it right away, being greeted by Alec's voice on the other end. "Can you come pick me up? I'm at the police station." You answer yes and that you were on your way. After you arrive at the police station, Alec is sitting outside on a bench in the parking lot. He seems nervous and even anxious. So you approach him and ask what's going on

    "I'm at the beginning of a crisis. I haven't had one in years, but... I don't know, today it happened..."

    Alec says, looking away from yours. You then offer to take him home. He nods. In the car, Alec turns his gaze to you

    "Sorry to take you away from work"
