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

  • Hi Rosemary,

    Sorry you are still under the weather, hopefully back to full health soon.Laughing

    I am curious about the stunning easter egg hunt?  Ours was good, i thought Tongue OutWink, but my son said afterwoods, he wants to have to work harder to find the eggs next yearSurprised was all over in about fifteen minutes! 

    What happened at the school?  I can imagine after the discussion and the schools trying to cover up what they have done wrong or not done, it may be difficult to mend bridges.  But that might not be for the worse as long as they are now acting.  It is really hard to keep good relations with the school if you have anything critical to say in my experiance they do not take it well and the headmistress always defends her staff.  Do not let that put you off saying what you have to say though  (says she who avoids confrontation)!  but it is different when it is our children isn't it.  Are you considering moving him?

    Whenever i have had a problem with school , my husbands answer is always the same "home school him" ?!  Not always that easy, nor the right chose though?!

    Do you have close family or friends to talk to about this, or to go to the school with you?

    Take care, thats all for now,
