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

  • Hi,

    It has been great to read these post and realise that someone somewhere may understand what life is like. My partner of nearly 14 years was diagnosed in November last year and it kinda gave an explaination to so many things, it has made some things easier but we are still left with the same problems, still left trying to muddle through.

    It can be very lonely at times and I wish that I could just make things ok for him but I can't. Others don't seem to understand, not that I have been able to speak with my family or friends about it, even his best friend doesn't seem to get it. We have spent years getting on with things, he has worked so hard to keep going, live up to expectations, no-one seeems to see our daily struggles.

    I am sure that we can find a future where the current anxieties and stresses are minimised, just somethings when in the thick of it, it is difficult to see the way out.

    Thank you all for posting,
