Which is a catch 22.
Since my track record suggests I'm
going to get rejected, I have every reason to expect rejection. Yet as a result of my expectant rejection, I come across as less than self-assured.
I won't speak for
@BeExcellent's husband. I have no idea if she packs for him when they travel (nor is it any of my business).
I'm going to chime in as a man with a mild case of autism, however.
I
always pack for myself when traveling. For that matter, a majority of my travel at this point is solo (so I have no one else to pack for me anyway).
And in addition to the fact I pack for myself, I would never in a million years even
want anyone else to pack for me. I was in middle school the last time anyone else packed for me.
On the other hand, my one living grandpa (who is
extremely neurotypical) couldn't function without my grandma packing for him. Some men (neurotypical or not) just never learned how to do certain things on their own; nothing to do with autism.
The only cases I can think of where autism in and of itself would be to blame (for why someone else has to pack for a grown man) are
severe cases of autism.
