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

  • Puffin - Thanks for reply. I will have a look for that website later, esp. as I have school worries at the mo., too. My little boy's problems are different to yours in that respect, perhaps. He does not spend much time in the classroom due to disturbing the rest of the class through his short attention span. I am really worried about him getting behind, not because he cannot learn, but because he is being treated differently and has 2 assistants trying to teach him who have had no formal teaching training.Frown He is very bright but doesn't concentrate for very long and is quite hyperactive.

    Back later. Rosemary xx
