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

  • PS. One ironic and interesting thing I forgot to say is that my little boy is really noisy, loud, hyperactive and quite outgoing. So in many ways, the opposite end of the spectrum to his Dad.

    His Dad is also verging on food aversion [don't get me started on that one Yell its very aggravating at times even though I know he cannot help it]. But our little boy is at the opposite end and would eat until he was sick if I let him. I will probably have to watch his calorie intake at some stage.
