| If this has already been covered elsewhere, I'm happy to be directed to earlier threads, but so far I haven't found anything to enlighten me. (And for those who will say "Ask your Aspie partner" - I have, but he has trouble explaining himself in a way I can understand - which may just be my particul... |

| Hi WorriedWife My situation sounds a bit similar to yours - my relationship with my Aspie husband has had its ups and downs, with my family members often finding aspects of his behaviour confronting, and difficult to understand. I must confess I do, too (he can also be arrogant and self-centred one ... |

| This topic really caught my attention, and I hoped it might throw some light on why my Aspie husband never wants to join in with board games - whether it is with me (I'm NT) and my family members (also NT) or with his son (Aspie) and daughter (NT). (It's a 2nd marriage for both of us). Generally the... |

| It seems to me there's some really good advice in the replies you've had - even within the blunt response - so try and take the advice on board. You say you can't wrap your brain around your boyfriend's need for more time, before getting married. I can relate to your frustration in wanting to unders... |

| How common is it for someone with AS to feel little or nothing when someone is dying (or has just died)? I was originally going to ask about this in another recent thread but thought better of it, as I was worried it may seem like I was trying to hijack the thread by going Off-Topic. The statement t... |

| My husband has recently self-diagnosed with AS (soon to have appt for official assessment) and we are both at a very early stage of trying to come to terms with the implications of his AS. He is 56, and alternately feels immense relief - because a lifetime of Not Fitting In is suddenly starting to m... |

| Women's shelters vary a lot in Australia. My sister worked in 3 - 4 over a period of many years in QLD, and her experiences as a worker differed from place to place. She was working mainly with the children of the women seeking shelter, so the level of funding had an impact on the kinds of support a... |

| Ashuahhe, my heart goes out to you. My first serious relationship/marriage was an abusive one, and I know how difficult it can be to gather your strength to leave - and when you do, the cyclical nature of the abusive relationship makes it likely he will do everything possible to win you back. He may... |

| Hi to everyone at Wrong Planet. I am NT (aged 55) and my husband has recently self-diagnosed as being on the Asperger spectrum, and has made an appointment seeking official confirmation, which we both assume will be the case. It is a second marriage for both of us, and whilst things were wonderful f... |
