Support thread for those of us with partners/spouses with ASC-all welcome

Hello. I've been chatting to some ladies on here who are struggling in their relationships with partners who have Aspergers or high function Autism and I've noticed there seems to be a need for support. I am in the same situation and my partner and I have a little boy aged 5, who is also on the spectrum. Life has been very tough for a few years, but my partner and I have just started counselling.

I am hoping some others will hop on board so we can all share info and experience and support each other.

I haven't intended it to be exclusively for ladies by the way.

Love Rosemary xx

  • Optomistic - You've described my partner to a tee, esp the " Everyone who knows him says he is a lovely person, but they all say how quiet he is... " If I have had that said to me once, I've had it said a 100 times honestly.

    I'm going to have to have a good read of your initial post on the original thread, as things you described rung loud clanging bells and I hadn't even thought about them being part and parcel of ASC.

    I'm sure both your's and mine are on the spectrum. We could be married to the same bloke! Laughing

    More later. I'll let you know what happens tomorrow. Last week was storming! I was exhausted afterwards.
