    Hi. I'm NT. I'm deeply in love with an aspie.

    2nd update from a 2nd party: So, she showed up at another party. This time, not even the hosts knew she was coming. I avoided talking with her just like before. I honestly felt like she wanted me to start something but, I refused. She eventually sat herself where the food was. I still avoided...

    Facing Guilt

    Here is an update. We ended up at the same party together. I had a feeling she would be there and then had taken an anti-anxiety pill. She tried to talk to me 3 times at the party. I was polite but, I honestly didn't know how to react because I thought she owed me an apology. And one of those...

    Lol. No, she only had one hard cider, so not drunk. Thanks so much for your response, I think you may be right. I just don't think she's given herself her own memo, if you know what I mean. [emoji6]

    Facing Guilt

    I think you're on the right track. It is not about changing her mind, it's about facilitating her to do what she already wants to do but, has anxiety about (because she's afraid I've given up on her). Slowly and not directly has worked for her in the past. Sorry for the long delay but, I just...

    Hi, I'm new and I'm nt and need advice about my partner

    Yes, you do need more than you're getting. That's why you both need to go to a counselor that specialises with autism. Another point: sometimes, childbirth leads to scar tissue that might make intimacy more difficult. Have her see a gynecologist. She may also feel less attractive. She may need...

    Curiosity after encounter with somebody on the spectrum

    Welcome Mystic. You may be on the spectrum. However, I am not but, I recently found that I have a lot of friends on the spectrum. I think I attract people on the spectrum because I'm not judgemental, at least on traits, but am also sensitive. Whatever the reason, many of my friends are on the...

    Awesomeness! Thanks so much for posting this.

    Just found this site, decided to give it a go.

    Your son is likely an asperger person. You may, or not be. There are other conditions that have an overlap with aspergers, such as OCD. You might want to get this month's episode of Psychology Today. I think you'll get a lot out of the article on the siblings of prodigies and siblings with autism.

    Hi, I'm new and I'm nt and need advice about my partner

    I also am not on the spectrum. Even in NT to NT relationships, there is usually one that wants it more than the other. Both parties have to compromise on that. You also may have a different emotional language from one another, a counselor/therapist that has expertise with people on the spectrum...
