    Are there textures you can't bear to touch?

    I also cannot bear that 'feathery-stroker' touch....... Both myself and my aspie partner cannot abide it...!!

    Are there textures you can't bear to touch?

    Can You Repeat That?

    In fairness... I totally agree with you (so maybe not just aspie) I can't listen, attentively, to two people talking at the same time..... It's just annoying... Like, 'can't you see me talking to someone on the phone....?'

    Can You Repeat That?

    Yes....!!! My aspie partner, rarely replies the first time if I ask him something... He says he needs time to think.... It was frustrating at first.... But now, if it's something important , I place my hand on his arm - then ask... This gives him time to come out (of whatever thought he's in)...

    Looking for some ideas....!

    Thank you.... It's good to hear this..... I can't to IT or techie stuff... And he's been filling their heads for over two years now so it's well ingrained..... But thanks for the laugh... :)

    Having a relationship with someone with Asperger's

    I'm so sorry you are going through this too.... You still have your kids with you... Keep them close and away from any one sided negativity.... I made the mistake of 'being neutral' and mine are all with my ex... He has poisoned their minds, and I know it will take years to have any kind of...

    Looking for some ideas....!

    Looking for some ideas....!

    Thanks for this.... I like the write the letter thing.... I hope he'd read it... But I can't be sure that he'd even get it (as he lives with my ex).... But it's worth a try.... I think that I couldn't ever get as low/destructive as my ex he has damaged all my children....but what he's done to...

    Looking for some ideas....!

    You see things exactly as my partner does... I would hate to think he'd do that..... I think I need to toughen up... As my son can be a bit 'manipulative'.... So it's wise to keep the distance-for just now.....

    Looking for some ideas....!

    Thanks... Yes I have some good friends and my partner (aspie) has been so supportive.... I'm sure he does know that I am still there.....

    Looking for some ideas....!

    Thanks... I know you are right...that's why I texted sparingly...(3-4 times in 4-5 months).... I'd like him to know the reasons I wanted him to go... But his father just indulges him and now adds 'she threw you out... What kind of mother does that..?'

    Looking for some ideas....!

    This is a bit long, but I'm looking for ideas.......My 18 yr old son is aspie.... Before my marriage ended he and I were the 'best' at communicating out of his father, an older brother and younger sister... His aspieness is quite mild... And can live and operate his daily life well.... He did...
