My fiancé has Asperges syndrome. Now what?

tea&cake

Dear All,

My fiancé has recently been officially been diagnosed with Asperges syndrome, we are both in our early 20s. I love him dearly ,but, there are times when his condition has put a strain on us as a couple.  I have completed extensive research into Asperges due to the diagnoses ,but, also out of personal interest. He has it very mild compared to others I have met with the same condition.

I was wondering what advice and support is given for young couples? Who do we need to contact etc?  Also, is anyone in a similar situation?  

Any advice would be much appreciated.

  • As a person with Aspergers Syndrome (was diagnosed when I was 16 now 29) My girlfriend knew from the start of our relationship (11 years in March) about my condition. There are many times we get ourselves into a spot of bother, mainly from things that I do (but not aware of), but by some miracle, she has remained my Girlfriend. 

    I cannot say that our whole relationship has been plain sailing. But I think the bottom line is, IF you love someone enough and can understand why certain things may be different "the norm" and why your finance may act in a different way, then I think you will be fine.  Sure it will be a rollercoaster journey, but together you can learn from each other and deep down, you will know that the relationship will continue to grow stronger. :)
