nt partners of autistic/aspergers

some one

ive noticed in the few years ive researched autism/aspergers that tho there is a lot out there about familys, carers and parents of those with autism, not so much goes into the partners of adults with autism

our voice needs to be heard too and i as one of those people feel theres not a lot of options for me, i literally have to deal with it on my own

its a lot of stress and pressure to do the 'right thing' by my partner, when sometimes (a lot actually) that right thing usually means i have to just cope with and go through whatever it is, and try to come out the other side not completely mental

i do my best for my partner, and he does what he can too in his own way, but there are times i just dont know what to do, and times i cant

anyway, there you go, thats my pent up view on it for just now

Parents

  • thanks for your reply scorpion, true, it probabaly is , what i dont get is why, when its known now its NOT something you grow out of there isnt more help for everyone involved

    i understand parents need a lot of help, and i have nothing but respect for them, but partners have problems too and still have to care for their partner, same as they would if they had/have children

    it sucks, both adults with autism and those who live with them need help same as any child and parent with autism, it doesnt go away and can be very stressful, but i have no-one, not one single person who understands or helps

    its why i came here, even just to help others
