Compare values, interests, communication, reciprocity, repair, and safety through behavior-based examples rather than diagnoses.
Use these guides to evaluate patterns over time. A single awkward moment is not a complete pattern, and a positive label cannot replace consent, consistency, or respect.
Start with the guide that matches your immediate question. Continue only when the next page resolves a decision you still need to make; the order below is a suggested path, not a required sequence.
