Femme Ferale
After reading a few posts this evening, I was reminded of a question my late husband and I used to ponder. We wondered whether we'd made the best choice deciding to marry each other. We didn't know we were Aspies at the time. We just knew we were the same, but different from everybody else. We wondered if maybe it would've been better for each of us to have married someone who could help us understand the "normal" world rather than marrying someone who could understand us. It's a tricky thing. Someone who shares the same experiences and has the same reactions we have is very comforting to be around. It's like shooting that knowing glance across a crowded room at your partner and feeling confident he/she got the intended message. However, there's a lot to be said for someone who accepts you as you are, even though they will never fully understand what you experience. What they can do is help you to be better at who you are and help you understand how to navigate the NT world.
So, do you think you'd be happier with an another Aspie or with an NT based on the description provided above?
