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

  • Hello. I am new here and finding this discussion quite interesting.

    I have a child who is on the autistic spectrum though we do not have an official diagnosis yet, thanks to the vagaries of our local authority pathway and the NHS. He does have a statement of SEN though.

    Its a long story, but since I realised my son has autism or apsergers [professional opinions vary], I have also come to realise my partner [the father of my son] has it too and it has virtually destroyed our relationship.

    I am hanging on by a thread right now and my partner is in denial and chooses to ignore both his difficulties and our son's. I need help and I do not know where to find it.
