I'm a NT female dating a man with Aspergers. Anyone know of any support groups or online communities for sharing frustrations and exchanging tips on how to cope? Thx
Fair comment.
I think Maj Mal was saying that some autists need more support than others, but if the support they need is becoming too much for your mental health then it might be that the relationship wont work (or will need readjustment)
If one person is doing all the work or comforting for example then that is a recipe for unhappy long term relationship. But thats true for anyone not just ND with NT relationships
You are understood.That's why i posted.
Just because someone is autistic doesn’t mean you need to care for them. I don’t need taken care of I need to be understood.
You need to be Mindful of your own Mental Health.Being a Partner is not the same as being a carer.Best wishes.
This question has been asked before and from the responses I don't believe there is one.
I agree with Roy and also, some of us, myself included, have been/are in relationships with others on the autistic spectrum.
As we are autistic we have good insight into the hurdles you may come up against.
Hi, this community is most probably a good starting point, there are a lot of autistic people here who have relationships with NT partners.
