Hello everyone,
Just wanted to say a quick hello, since I'm newly diagnosed and finding it tough. I had no idea I was different!! I feel like I'm the only AS person who was clueless that they weren't "normal"
My husband finds it difficult communicating with me, and he did some online research and found that Asperger's was a good fit. Just had it officially diagnosed last month. It left me feeling pretty shocked! But all the pieces make sense now, having been described as 'hard work' when I was a kid and with problems sleeping.
The consultant said that I hide it well, but that all falls apart when I have a temper meltdown Does anyone else suffer with these? Do you have any advice on how my NT partner and myself can handle these? I lose perspective and my tone becomes snappy.
We're based in East Anglia but there aren't many groups listed locally. Any advice you have on an AS/NT partnership would be much appreciated! It can literally be like we're speaking different languages!
Thank you in advance
Hi Elvenstar,
What, if anything, have you found helpful in improving your AS/NT relationship?
I am AS, my wife is NT, we are married just over 10 years and it's very very difficult. We are starting couples therapy tomorrow 'cos I can't cope with how things are.
Kind regards,
