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 Puffin,

    I've been awol last week and no wonder!!! Oh My Life - what a week! I've had to suspend all the relationship stuff with my partner because of school isues.

    Not sure if I said that I had involved the Parent Partnership to get to grips with school problems. You won't believe this, but I've had to lodge a complaint against the person they assigned to support me. She was a complete NIGHTMARE!!!! She almost sabotaged the meeting. It had a positive outcome in spite of her, not because of her.

    I did laugh at your little boy's cannyness. Clever little sausage! On a positive note - its amazing and very heartening for you to think that he can think of excuses that don't offend the host. What a bright little button. 

    We've got counselling again this week and I will have zilch to say as I just cannot put input into my relationship whilst trying to negotiate the school probs. Its bl**dy hard work trying to do it all on my own with no input from my partner.
