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
Hilary - Welcome on board. Please come and join us. I set up this thread for everyone who was/is struggling with partners who have ASC [both diagnosed and undiagnosed].
Its awful isn't it, that the autism traits manifest themselves like this? [uncaring, thoughtless and selfish] I too thought we were at the end of the road, but with a little effort from my partner and a little tolerance from me, things have improved a lot. I am now hoping that we can get back on track. We have been having counselling.
I am not sure how much you have read, but it is very common for AS people to fixate on a particular interest. I have a feeling I have read that computer games are a common one. My partner is obsessed with cricket and always has his nose in a sudoku book [now that I know is common because of the numbers thing]. Our little boy is starting to have a bit of a thing about counting too.
We are all here to support each other. Hope to speak to you again soon. Love Rosemary xxx
