Hello everyone. I'm new to this site.
The reason i write here is because i feel so discouraged on a daily basis because my husband, who i do love very much, refuse to believe I have asperger.
I have no one to talk to and I'm wondering if there is anyone else out there that is going through the same thing as me? Or maybe been through it?
My husband is american and I'm currently living with him in usa.
I'm from another country and I got diagnosed with asperger when I was around 8 years old. I have trouble with socializing and I have sensory overload, I'm sensitive to sounds. I get exhausted by being in man-made environments.
Therefore school was very hard for me, the constant stress, anxiety and headaches I had to deal with because of my sensory overload.
Now when i tried telling my husband, that i have this, he try to say that the doctors are wrong, because my country is wrong. And that I just need to get stronger.
When sounds were physically hurting me I started covering my ears and he started screaming at me telling me I act like a little child.
I have tried bringing this up to him that I do have asperger, but I break down in tears because he doesn't understand and I'm so sensitive to rejection. He see me as weak and I believe he think I'm ridiculous. It's to the point he dont listen to anything I say, he responds annoyed I DON'T WANT TO HEAR IT!
And i stay quiet because i don't want to be yelled at.
Sometimes he mocks me when I say something too. I cant talk to him.
Divorce is not a option! I just want to know what can i do? Is there a place in usa where i can reach out? I dont know much about how it works in usa.
I dont know anyone here except my husband and his mother. His mom is just the same behavior as him. I try to avoid her as much as I can.
It would be nice to have a friend that understands what it's like.
