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
Puffin - I didn't mean to sound preachy! Funnily enough, my partner has done it to me once too and i also, turned a blind eye. We were having an almighty row at the time. It was undignified rather than painful. He also threw a glass of wine over me recently and it turned into something akin to a comic sketch as i whipped him mercilessly with a tea towel. I was completely furious, but could also see the funny side as it was happening.
Yes, thanks. I have stopped feeling sorry for myself for the moment. The counsellor is away now for 3 weeks [great!] which I was initially dismayed about, but now I am thinking it will give me chance to think about a few things.
She got up my nose last week. The thing is, she is doing couples counselling without a huge amount of knowledge/experience of ASC and so I do not feel that she totally appreciates the sh*t I have to contend with, on a daily basis. I'm sure she would if she had to put up with it though!
Our sons sound very similar. Wonder where Opto has got to??
