Supporting my wife

NAS75755

My wife has recently been diagnosed with ASD. I am reading as much as I can online but wondered if anyone can help me with some do's and dont's. I know it is different for everyone but I'm sure there are some standard techniques to help me help her. I would be most grateful for your thoughts.

  • I love the fact that you are taking time to work out how best to support her.

    There is a great book called the aspergers couples workbook by Maxine Aston that will give you some v good starting points.

    Please be patient and understand that she never means to hurt you. My husband still doesn't quite understand yet and we have some tricky moments. Small steps. 

    You being open and willing to learn is awesome and I am sure that she really appreciates that.
