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.

  • Hi Puffin,

    Good to hear from you. Have I told you about the easter egg hunt my son went on??? It was a bit of a stunner!Foot in MouthFoot in Mouth

    We've all been ill with school bugs. I'm still ill and so is my partner. We need a bit of warm weather.

    I've hit a brick wall with school. Been very preoccupied with it all and wondering what on earth to do really. The actual incident as done me a favour as its made me realise that my boy is not getting the help he needs, but the defensive reaction from the school has been something else.

    Fairly fed-up and hoping things will become a bit clearer soon. Its a real knotty problem to tackle. I need professional help with it - to tackle the school I mean. My partner is totally incapable of supporting me.Frown
