    I Need Some Advice

    About a month ago we went through a period of fighting a lot. He told me that he felt as though we have so many problems that perhaps we shouldn't be together. But all couples need to talk about certain things, such as what they want in the future or things that are bothering them. What makes...

    I Need Some Advice

    Hey there :) My partner does notice some of the time. Sometimes he responds straight away, but it often takes him an hour or two to acknowledge that I'm upset, or he might just pretend I haven't said anything. On other occasions he might respond by rolling his eyes, changing the subject or...

    Hellooo

    Thanks everybody, for being so nice :) I must say, I've spent the last few months in a state of almost perpetual stress about our relationship. I've already posted in the relationship forum and have some great responses. Just talking to people here has made me feel so much happier and less...

    I Need Some Advice

    Thanks for replying, especially since you sound busy! Thinking about him as a robot is such a hard thing to do. This is the man who cried when we couldn't adopt a cat he'd befriended at the shelter but doesn't seem to realise when I need a hug or kind word. Seeing him behave so differently from...

    I Need Some Advice

    This is why I'm here. To learn from people who are more able to talk about their experiences than my partner is right now, such as yourself and the other lovely people I've spoken to. I've never known as Aspie before, let alone been in a relationship with one, so I'm all too aware that I don't...

    What Are Effective Ways To Verbally Share Feelings With AS Partner?

    I've had this exact problem and have received the same responses as OP, usually followed by my partner immediately turning back to whatever he was doing before I spoke. It can feel very much like he just isn't interested in what I have to say, or how I'm feeling. I'm going to try this verbal...

    Got diagnosed today

    Did any of you guys worry about having ASD down on your medical records in case it negatively impacted on your future prospects? I ask because my partner refuses to seek a diagnosis on the basis that he doesn't want it on his medical records, but that's as much as he'll say. I'm NT, so I...

    Hellooo

    Hey guys. Was I supposed to post here first? Sorry! Anyway, I'm a NT girlfriend of a (suspected) Aspie. My partner exhibits all the classic behaviour of an Aspie but refuses to seek out a diagnosis. So, I've embarked upon a journey to find as much information about AS that I can, in the hope of...

    I Need Some Advice

    I was looking for specific information during my previous searches. Came for the information, didn't stop for the fun. This is my first time posting in an Aspie forum and already I feel a little more relaxed, largely thanks to your lovely words. So glad I chose here! :)

    I Need Some Advice

    My man fits that profile. He's very loyal, smart, trustworthy and extremely creative. His eye contact sucks big time but it's not something that bothers me too much. He'll often completely turn his back on me in the middle of a sentence, but if I gently ask him to turn back around he will do...

    Tourettes vs Aspergers

    Ok. I'll leave this out here then, and hope that someone in the know wanders past with a bit more info. I'll have a look through the forums as well. Thanks for commenting. It's my first time on the site and everyone seems lovely :)

    Tourettes vs Aspergers

    Thank you, that's what I thought. Do you know if AS symptoms are typical for Tourette's? Or even just a possibility?

    I Need Some Advice

    I hope it gives a bit more of an overview. Our relationship has been characterised by a series of struggles, each one of which we've managed to overcome. Except this one. It's unfortunate that this one is such a biggie. Getting him to admit that he has communication problems took 2 years...

    I Need Some Advice

    Hey. Thank you for your reply. I guess I should explain a little more. My partner, to his credit, has come on a long way. He will now talk to me on the phone, join me at certain social events and is more communicative than he was previously. He's opened himself up to new possibilities for my...

    Tourettes vs Aspergers

    Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone could clear something up for me please? My partner believes he has Tourette's. I believe he has Asperger's. He fits the profile of AS (almost to a T) but also experiences tics and echolalia. From my reading, I have found that it is Asperger's which...
