    Successful therapy in Aspie/NT's relationships

    Years ago, my husband and I attempted therapy several times with different therapists in order to help our marriage. The first was a Catholic marriage counselor, in fact a priest, who advised us on our marriage. He seemed more concerned with church doctrine that our marriage. The second was a...

    Relating to children

    So, I've said before how I am devoid of any maternal instinct and I do not know how to relate to kids until they're able to talk reasonably well (probably also doesn't help that I can't do imaginative play). Two of my sister's in law just has babies, and we're going to see one of them later...

    Aspie relationship issues, trying to understand and be supportive

    Hey Guys I'm new on the forum and I've mainly joined because I've been in a relationship with a wonderful girl for the past year who has Asperger's but more recently I feel like I am probably not supporting her the way she needs. We have been struggling a lot recently, she has started a new...

    Coming To Terms with Being an Aspie and Relationships.

    Hi Everyone, After many years of my Mother, my peers and a string of failed relationships, I am coming to terms with the fact I have Aspergers Syndrome. I have been in denial for years and didn't want to be viewed as different. From a young age I can remember being very naive, slow at getting...

    Struggling to Understand my Aspie boyfriend...can our relationship work?

    Hello everyone, so I'm very new to this, but here's my situation. I'm a NT girl with an aspie-diagnosed boyfriend, and I absolutely love him to pieces. He is gentle and innocent and caring and throws himself into his passions, and I care for him so much. He is an incredibly talented programmer...

    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...

    My guy is wonderful, but his meltdowns can be terrible

    I've been dating my Aspie boyfriend for over 2 years now, and we've lived together for one and a half years. I don't have ASD, but likely have inattentive ADHD. However, I have yet to get a diagnosis, so at this point it's just a strong speculation. My BF was diagnosed with Asperger's when he...

    Asperger's - Hard to Keep Friends

    Hi, Hope everyone is having a good week so far. Does anyone else struggle to keep friends, especially good/best friends? Since I realised I might have Asperger's, I started thinking back to all of the very good friends I have lost in my life. And I clearly have a habit of losing friends. Not...

    Hi

    Hi, I'm new on here. I haven't been diagnosed with Asperger's yet, but I (and many people around me) feel that I do have this. Has anybody else had a lot of problems with friendships? I have never been able to keep close friends, and have frequently had meltdowns leading to the friend just not...

    Hard time finding someone with similar interests!

    Hello everyone :) So I have been dating for about 3-4 years now, I'm hitting 30 in a couple of weeks as well. I've never been in a committed relationship though. Some reasons are that the guys I meet don't want to commit, they want kids, etc, but I also think they don't get as close to me...

    How you make your NT partner feel loved

    Hey guys, I'm new to the forums here. I've got something specific to ask, maybe your views will help me & others. So, I'm a diagnosed aspie with an NT wife - a beautiful, passionate, strong and sexy lady who I've been fortunate enough to be married to for 11 years. Top that off with us having 4...

    Being naive in sibling relationship

    I've just realized I've been extremely naive regarding my relationship with my sister :(. In a nutshell: She's been a bully all my life and I 've always made excuses for her inconsiderate behavior. I've just connected the dots, and I don't want to contact her anymore. I feel very sad... and also...

    Recent break-up with Aspie, looking for advice?

    Hi all, I would love some advice. I apologize if I say anything incorrect, I'm a little out of my realm here (and still hurting a bit). I had been dating an aspie for about 7 months (I'm NT). Some of our relationship could be rocky because he would pull away or our communication could be...

    Dealing with Stress and Dark Times

    Hi All I need some advice, my partner is diagnosed autistic and if you have read any of my previous posts you know that we started off our relationship as an affair. We have been seeing each other for two years and needless to say it has been difficult (my other posts will show this) In...

    Barking in the Dark/the NT relationship paradigm

    Barking in the dark. That's what I'm doing right now. I just got the call today, and in the course of 20 minutes my world went from stable and predictable to "you're going half way around the world to do things you don't want to do." Ugh. But anyway, I just wanted to post something before I go...

    Telling ex about aspergers

    I recently broke up with my partner of almost 10 years. I did not know about aspergers until after we split. I'm undiagnosed thus far but just started seeing a psyc about getting more info and possible diagnosis. Aspergers seems to explain a lot of issues I've had throughout my life and, more...

    The feeling is Mutual

    I have lived for many years with the unshakable and certain knowledge that I was alone. That no-one would ever truly understand my world, my experience, my truth. For two weeks now, I have been rather off balance - my certainty has disappeared and normality has yet to return, because return it...

    Entry 1 - 'I have a hopeless crush on someone I stand no chance with.'

    I came to university in September 2015, and if there was one thing I wasn't expecting, it was to meet the perfect girl for me. She loves football, video games, The 1975, near enough the same things. She is incredibly pretty, and just her smile makes me feel funny. She's always on my mind and I...

    Does he have aspergers?

    Hey guys, I just was diagnosed with Aspergers which has got me thinking if people around me have it also. I have a friend who's a few years older than me, who I got to know through orchestra rehearsals and I think he might have Aspergers. He's currently at uni, studying a mixture of maths and...
