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.

Hi Rosemary,
No not happened before and will not happen again. I am ignoring it this time, As it was upsetting but was a one off. spoke to hubby about it again yesterday, he said it was my tone of voice and basically implied my fault! Not much else i can do at moment do not want to put my son with his difficulties through any stress. But i promise i will not accept that behaviour if it ever happens again. I am a bit embarresed i mentioned it at all.
My son and husband are both visual learners and my sons memory amazes me he recalls events years ago. He also memorises tv adverts, so much so he could tell me how long to leave the vanish carpet cleaner on my carpet based on an advert he had seen long before!
Ask my son to name all the animals you could see at the zoo in one minnute though ( a test the speech therapist carried out) and he could only name four!! No visual stimuli and a problem with imagination i guess. I was very suprised as my son is quite bright. yes it is very difficult for a NT to see things through Aspergers glasses.
How are you now anyway, feeling better?
