Imagine having a heart of gold and being taken advantage of by your own family. That’s the reality for one woman (24f) and her autistic husband (26m). Her husband’s high-functioning autism causes him to perceive small talk as requests, leading to him giving away his possessions to others. Sadly, his wife’s family has caught on to this and has been exploiting his generosity for their own gain. But this wife isn’t letting them get away with it any longer! ♀️
