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

    Some people claim that as an adult, you should have adapted by now. I had sensory issues as a child. I still have them now adn they're getting worse. My speech is noticably worse as an adult.

    you can 'adapt, ive seen my partner do it, but as temple grandin said, she will always have autism, it doesnt go away, anyone expecting that probably doesnt understand what it actually is

    i spent a lot of time expecting my partner to adapt and be different, learn how to adapt and do it 'right', it just doesnt seem to work that way

    im sorry your issues are getting worse, i dont think peopel expecting you to 'adapt' is helping you thats for sure
