Hello

artsy

Hello,

I've just learned of this site.  My daughter gave me the address.  My husband (not diagnosed) is on the spectrum with Asperger's.  We been together for 16 years now, married 14.  I've learned a lot and do much now to take care of my own needs.  I was wondering how other folks cope with the inability of the Aspie to "get into" or appreciate what the non-Aspie does?  Much else about our relationship I have learned to deal with, or we have learned techniques to cope.

Appreciate any input.

Thanks,

Artsy

  • Hi, I am a husband (diagnosed) with ASD.  Part of my objective in getting diagnosed was taking ownership of who I was and the impact it has on others around me including wife and family.

     

    Since receiving the diagnosis it has become much easer to establish the parameters of our relationships.  For example when I get ‘overloaded’ when the grandchildren are around, I am allowed to take a quite 10 and nobody questions what I am doing, however we also set a date evening aside for ourselves!

  • Hi Artsy - I'm not in your position but some other posters are + I'm sure they'll be along soon.  Have you done a search on the site for Asperger's partners/wives?  There are a number of posts so have a look if you haven't already.Smile
