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

we r the auties
over 11 years ago

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

    Hi There,

    Sorry to gear about your colds, some nasty ones going around, hope you are feeling better soon ( my husband never gets a cold it is always the flu !!)Wink

    I think you are right about the school, people are always a bit more agressive if they have something to hide.  As you say though dispite the stress and grey hairs (costing me a fortune to dye mine!) they have probably given you that little wake up call to be more pro active.   I am in the exact same position.  My sons head teacher usually arranges "solution focus meetings" every three months we are now in month five and nothing and a few little problems are starting to arise at school with regards unsupervised playtime and new teachers.  I like yourself am looking forward to not having to deal with them for two weeks!  i will then have to get pro active and sort this outon his return.  I am a bit unpopulary at the moment over school bus safety, seems i am the only person that sees the dangers?!

    I did not know your husbands family did not know about the Aspergers?!  Funny my mother in law can see our son can be different at times but can see no signs in her son, denies point blank he has a problem because that means it may be her or her now deceased husbands genes (definatly)!  I must admit i like to wind her up about that, we do not get on too well!Cool  she feels my sons autism is nurture not nature, and that is like a red rag to a bull with me!

    Hope your family conversation regards autism went better than mine usually do?!

    Take care
