I My Spouse Or Partner Has Asperger's Syndrome

‘I had to get really cross with Ava,’ said Ethan, my husband, earlier this week after he'd taken our daughter to school.
The full story is on the blog, but the gist of it is that Ethan didn't listen to Ava's explanation, didn't see...

I've been unhappily married to a man with Aspergers for 9 years. My husband is very successful (which seems to be non-typical) and, though I never felt a strong connection with him, there were enough promising aspects that I thought we...

It's so depressing to find out the problem after a year of being with my boyfriend. Yes, he has Asperger's.

For so long, I thought I was doing something wrong. I thought the reason he hurt my feelings and neglected me was somehow MY...

My resolve to criticise less, hold my tongue and see amazing results didn't last long.
Last week Ethan came home with an iPad.
A week earlier we'd had a discussion that went something like this:
Ethan: Do you think we should get an...

Just found out that my 11 year old son has Asperger Syndrome. My husband finally addmited that he recognizes symptoms on his father and himself. I am so mad and hurt. My son has needed help for so long but since my husband is so...

There are a few posts up here wanting to put a positive spin on loving an Aspie and I think that is what we all need. I have been reading a book called Loving Someone with Asperger's Syndrome: Understanding and Connecting with your...

I’m 60, widowed twice, and my husband is 70, widowed once, and we’ve been married a little over 2 years. He’s an adult child of an alcoholic and former cop. I was diagnosed with PTSD after my first husband’s death 18 years ago...

I just realized my husband of 3 years has Asperger's.  I always knew something was different, but I just assumed he was your typical smart, nerdy guy who was a bit socially awkward.  But, alas, that is not the case.  My...

Wow, it's always the same.

1. Fight
2. Extreme emotional punishment (draw back)
3. Recovery
4. Oblivion

And now everything is suppose to be normal again...

This weekend I will schedule a talk with my husband. We need to figure out...

I am kicking myself right now for relaxing last week. He was really in a good mood for most of the week and trying hard to please me and it was very nice to feel that again. But I feel like a sucker every time this happens because...

Together for about 25 years now, he always seemed different (shy, social anxiety, trouble with change, weird outbursts at times, never able to make bond with my son), but somehow it kind of worked. For many years I felt happy with him...

When our son was in 3rd grade, a teacher suggested that he might have Asperger's.  I went immeditely into denial.  My husband went home and got on the internet and read a lot of stuff and self diagnosed three days later.
Now...

I have been married to a dependable, honest and caring man for almost 20 years. He is an undiagnosed case of aspergers and we have a 14 year old son on the Autism spectrum quite high functioning. It is almost enough to drive a spouse...

I don't even know where to start . . I know I am going to write a book here . . but I have been waiting so long to talk to someone. I have been married to my husband three years now. I am so alone. We dated for four years and I noticed...

Dont know how long I can hang in there. Met my husband 6 years ago. parents eccentric as they come.. His little boy charm won me over at first and he pursued me like crazy. Now he pursues his computer and the field of finance like...

What the heck is going on here? I mean, I say this on a daily basis while living with a husband who is an aspie. Over the past couple of months I have strictly thought about putting into action my divorce. I recently thought about a...

I apologize in advance if this is a long story, but I really need to get it out in a place where someone may understand my frustration.

My husband (been together for 8 years) is an Aspie. His behavior (neglect, passive aggressiveness...

I am going to start this by explaining that I am a nurse.  I am married to a man I believe has asperger's.  He is not diagnosed, but fits the description perfectly and every quiz he has taken (or I have taken for him) has confirmed my...

Hi All

I'm married to a non-diagnosed AS partner and have been for nearly four years now. Things are going really well with us now eventhough we've had many difficult times but we're both trying and that for me is the most important...

Hi. I have been married to my husband, who has both Asperger's and Tourette's, for twenty four years. Since before we got married, even before he was diagnosed with either condition, it has been very stressful living with him and I do...
