    About to be engaged to an Aspie... and worried.

    Hi All! First off, thank you for your support and for sharing your stories. I had the chance to meet twice with an ASD specialist who is also a sexologist, and learned a lot more about what to expect in intimate relationships with an Aspie. I am now much more aware, and can identify my...

    Annoying people in your life.

    Hi Soup! Your post made me giggle. Even though I am an NT, my mother to drives me up the wall with her constant nattering. She loves to gossip and if that we're enough, she'd talk your ear off on the subject of American politics. But hey, we still love them! I've tried and with some success...

    About to be engaged to an Aspie... and worried.

    Hi Cerulean, I am happy to hear about your relationship, especially how it improved after you and your husband have changed the way you communicate. I think rephrasing my questions, being more direct, and respecting his alone time will help me be better in my relationship; and they are all...

    Outsidein, Please do PM me with the blog link, I'd love to read it! I just started reading the Journal of Best Practices and it's a relevant yet very entertaining book. I can't seem to put it down!

    About to be engaged to an Aspie... and worried.

    You're absolutely right. (FYI, my current bf is my most serious relationship (5years) my second significant one only lasted a year and half and we did not live together. ) I think what I have been having the most trouble with is just grasping the concept of Aspergers itself. As someone with a...

    About to be engaged to an Aspie... and worried.

    Hi Outsidein, Thanks for sharing your story, it gives me faith that Aspie - NT relationships can indeed work. I know i have a tendency to beat around the bush, dropping hints everywhere, as it's part of my personality. Being more explicit I think will help me eventually become more assertive in...

    About to be engaged to an Aspie... and worried.

    Reuben, Thanks for the 2 cents! I have got to say I think I really needed this blunt advice, you and the other members who have posted here have really given me a wake up call. I am happy to have found this forum, and I am doing research of my own too. I have a lot to learn, looks like, but I...

    Lol.. Soup! Thanks for a good belly laugh! I hadn't heard about the con-man featured on Oprah. How disgusting!!! I found a local support group for friends and family and will talk first with the coordinator there. Perhaps a visit or a one on one discussion will give me some more insight...

    Hi King_Oni! Well, I gotta say your two cents is worth a whole lot more! I appreciate your "bluntness", it has given me some real food for thought. After reading your post and that of Soup's it's clear to me that I need to learn more about Aspergers and will likely reach out to a therapist...

    About to be engaged to an Aspie... and worried.

    Hi Soup, Thanks for your quick reply and for being so honest with me. As a NT, I am really just getting to understand Aspergers. You asked some really good questions and overall yes, I can trust him, he can provide, and he is supportive of my own career and academic goals. (He is supporting...

    About to be engaged to an Aspie... and worried.

    Hi. I'm new here. I just discovered this forum after a google search, and I am happy to have found it. I should note, I do not have Aspergers myself. So my bf and I have been together for 5 years, 3 years of which we've been living together. It took me a few years to recognize that my bf...
