    Just moved in with my Aspie, need

    18 months later update So I am still living with my ex. We could not be happier. He goes above and beyond to make me happy and hopefully I do for him too On reflection I am going to suggest that we both had much to learn about each other in the early days and just as then we continue to do so...

    Just moved in with my Aspie, need

    I have had the strangest relationship. To start with I got into a full on relationship with a lovely Aspie man. There was some distance between us but I would visit every other weekend talk every single day and text constantly between visits. After six months he went into Aspie burnout. He had...

    Do you look your age?

    I am 50. And my profile picture is current. I am not ready to embrace my allocated years on this earth number. Fortunately I get passed for a 30 something year old

I do believe that I am...

    Love my Aspie but need advice on Austistic Burnout

    Thank you Otis. One of the reasons for me to move to where he lives is that he encouraged me to get back out on the water and join the local sailing club. He even paid for me to do a sailing course so I could become a full member. I think on reflection I just need to not put labels on what we...

    Love my Aspie but need advice on Austistic Burnout

    Thank you so much for you response. It is exactly your perspective that I need right now. You are right. He could not be clearer with his words. But his actions are what I hung on too. I had actually considered rental and I think you are correct in respect of not committing until I am sure. I...

    Love my Aspie but need advice on Austistic Burnout

    My friend has ASD and I have fallen in love for him. We do not define what we have but in my bubble it is a full relationship, we are very private about this. People just believe we are good friends. Living away as he does we are able to conduct ourselves as a normal couple but with no pressure...

    Hello! New here

    Hi Gershwin I am new here too. I am that very girl friend. I understand how hard it is for you to make eye contact. If it is any consolation, my aspie is actually getting there. Initially it was heartbreaking that he would just turn away, but the more we are together and the less pressure we...

    Hello one and all

    i believe what happens over the next few months will be him adjusting to the realisation that he is Autistic. It was the hardest conversation I have ever had. It is such a huge responsibility to open up a conversation with someone and ask them if had considered that maybe they have ASD. We need...

    Hello one and all

    Hello. So good to read your message and Thank you for your kind words. The hardest thing for me to handle is that my Aspie has struggled to fit in for so long. He has gradually withdrawn from the world over the years. There is a sadness that his friends have all dropped away. His parents are...

    Hello one and all

    Hi Tom. Thank you for your welcome. Ok. He is 30 and I am 49 ( that is me a month ago on my profile pic ) He is so much older than his years suggest and I am yet to grow up. We kind of look the same age. Which amuses us both. Just wonder if it quietly bothers him. He says not.
