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

    I'm just about to have something to eat, running late as my partner at yet another cricket meeting. I'll be back in a bit.

    Sympathies - yes, we understand and it is so tough. I am going trough a really rough patch right now. Will come back and tell you more later but suffice to say - counselling was interesting yesterday.Cry

    Having major problems at school and have had to enlist professional support. Dreading my son going back to school. Weird thing is - he loves it, but perhaps not surprising considering he isn't required to do anything by the sound of it.

    Puffin - how are you? Home schooling would not be the answer for my son I think. He needs the social interaction with other children. There again, I am doubting myself on everything right now - perhaps I am wrong and he would be better off just having interaction with friends outside school who he knows well. He plays very nicely with them.

    Back in a bit. In a bit of a state as have been ill with a nasty bug and then a sinus infection for 2.5wks. No fun in the hols when you have part time work, an aspie partner who has run out of sympathy and a little boy who takes a lot of entertaining.
