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

  • To Artsy and Alex,

    many thanks for your replies. I was more than a little apprehensive about posting my comment as I did not wish to cause any offense yet felt a need to say something. Both of you have given insightful and non judgemental replies and I really do appreciate that. I am quite recently officially diagnosed and still trying to make sense of a whole lot of things - I guess I'm feeling a little unsure and my feelings are raw and perhaps torn between between acceptance and defensive. Some guidance on where to go from here would be appreciated. x
