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

  • Hi ... I too have found that there has been no easy access to get friendship and support from those going through the same thing.  I really struggled to find sites where I could chat to partners in the same situation.  

    I've recently applied for a grant to set up a site which will do this as, over the past two years, my husband has been diagnosed - which has made a huge (positive) difference to us both and improved our marriage enormously.  I've also read some great books and have managed to make changes so that I too can be happy.  I want to share this but feel I need to create a site in order to do it!  Fingers crossed that I get the grant.  I'll find out next week! :)
