    Looking for some empathy advice in a hard time.

    When I'm going through rough times, my hubby has learned how to take care of me. He does more around the house, but most importantly, when I'm crying or start talking about painful stuff, he just sits with me and listens. Sometimes he'll hug me, put his arms around me, but he's just there. That...

    I'm losing my wife

    I'm an NT female married to an Aspie so I get what you are saying (at least, I think). It sounds like you have some low self-esteem issues that may be common amongst aspies since they've been misunderstood and treated like crap most of their lives. In particular, I think you need to realize...

    Hi, NT here

    My husband is aspie and my son is autie. We live in the San Diego area. I really feel like the school system is failing my son so I'm considering homeschooling him, but worried I'm not competent enough. I guess that's it!

    Should I Give Up On My Aspie Husband?

    Hi Eden, Please don't give up yet on your aspie. I'm mostly NT (ADHD with intermittent depression) and have an aspie husband that loves me more than anything. We were married a year after his diagnosis, and it took many years for me to actually accept and understand him (we've been married...
