One aspect of ASD relationships that has gained attention is the concept of "ASD angel" partners – individuals who are often depicted as being extremely understanding, patient, and supportive of their ASD partner's needs.

It can create unrealistic expectations and perpetuate the idea that individuals with ASD require a "savior" or someone to "fix" them.
