    My mom's narcissistic mask

    I look fine, really. Actually, I'm so resilient than even I don't see my own psychological wounds. But they are there, and they are still bleeding. When my mom and dad came to visit us during the holidays, I noticed that my mom looked significantly older than the last time that I saw her. She...

    New to the forum and searching for empathy and encouragement

    Hi. My mother had ASC, and my brother. I didn't know that back then when I suddenly felt trapped into marrying my husband. I didn't understand what was going on, but his behaviour felt normal to me, because he behaved like my mother and brother. I don't feel safe saying too much here, in case...

    Being encouraged to have friends and failing to see the benefits anymore.

    My husband is off to his D&D game tonight, big group of friends. Just thinking, having a lot of anxiety over this and obsessing. He has tried in the past to get me to play, I like the game but not playing with strangers. He offered for me to come tonight so it took off that mental bandage I...

    Should I Give Up On My Aspie Husband?

    Hi All, I'm new here. I have a 13-year-old son who was diagnosed with ASD when he was 5. His dad and I divorced in 2012, initiated by me, because of lack of communication and emotional intimacy. We had been together for 12 years, married for 8. He's a great guy. Reliable, honest, trustworthy...

    Do you find yourself to be paranoid at times?

    Want to know if it's common amongst aspies and what do you do to cope? It's not too often that I get paranoid, it seems to come in waves. I tell myself that I am being silly but that does nothing. I trust my husband but lately I have been getting a sinking feeling when I see him texting and I...

    Do you think my (soon to be) ex-husband feels free too?

    I recently separated from my aspie husband, and I am a self-diagnosed aspie too. Yesterday, for the first time in my life, while he was with the kids at his apartment, I drove outside of the city by myself. ‘Why haven’t I done this before?’ I wondered. It’s not that I couldn’t have done it...

    Aspies with Mentally Different Partners

    I couldn't come up with the correct word for it, but what I mean is aspies with partners who are also not neurotypical. My fiancé has schizophrenia for example. Of course, we have our relationship problems as we both demand a lot of attention and support from the other, and this can lead to some...

    Hi, I'm Sabrina

    Hi, I'm a self diagnosed Aspie, and I'm pretty sure my husband and two kids are Aspies too (they haven't been diagnosed either). I'm looking forward to have a community, since I can't find one in my "real" world. My Avatar is Cosima, from the series Orphan Black. I've been an observer of...

    Can you be happy with living alone for a long time?

    I'm not saying that I am alone. I have many friends and besides, I am only 19. But sometimes I worry how life will turn out when I am in my mid 20s to 30s. I feel that I might be alone for a long time to come, and when I mean alone, I mean having that special someone in your life. I was never...

    A NT females relationship with an Aspie

    Ok, I am in no way an expert. I do not have autism myself but have dated and been around a few who have Aspergers. I am in a relationship with a 19 year old male who has Aspergers. I do not agree with people who say he is suffering. He is a human after all. What traits that sometimes frustrates...

    How did adult diagnosis (or suspected) affect your relationships?

    Hi Everybody. I've posted several things on here and your feedback has been immensely helpful. This is probably going to be really long so I hope that doesn't discourage you from reading it. I feel like I need to give you the history. This has to do with how becoming aware you were on the...

    I need marriage advice

    My husband has Aspergers and I do not. We've been married for several years and have a child together. I love him very much but there is a distance between us. I recently caught him looking at other girls online. When I confronted him he apologized and said it was because he wanted more...
