    How NTs see Aspies

    Hi Lizzy171002 Yes I realize what you are saying about the comparison I made to people from different countries. I agree that it is not the same but it was the closest example I could think of. But on the other hand there are customs and things down in other countries that I do not understand or...

    How NTs see Aspies

    It would be great to be able to understand why NTs behave in a way that is, at least in my opinion as it relates to my Neurotypical, quite baffling, egocentric, and condescending. I, for one, am sick of being told that I'm wrong, that I am a boy and not a man, that I have zero common sense...

    How NTs see Aspies

    I am an NT female and I am involved with an AS male. I read what was written and I think it was a generalization but I also think it is true in most relationships that have this dynamic. I don't necessary think it is doom and gloom because from all the research and reading I have done it is...

    Living with an Aspie

    Thank you HAL_0. I have wonderful books describing Aspes but I have a hard time explaining NT women. But I will look into ordering it. What I am learning is that there is so much material about living and loving an Aspie person. And although I read the books I know my boyfriend is not...

    Living with an Aspie

    I am an NT in a long term relationship with an AS. I have studied much on Aspergers. I have read about it, talked about it, watched videos about it, joined forums,etc. My question is why do AS individuals do the same thing to learn about NTs? I see so many relationships failing because they fail...

    NT Needing Advice on explaining what is considered emotional abuse to AS

    I need some advice on explaining what is considered emotional abuse. Sometimes my boyfriend says mean things to me that hurt me. When I explain to him that it hurts me his response is that it is not abuse by the technical definition, that I dont know what I am talking about, that it shouldnt...

    Me and Anna

    I am so sorry that this is how she chose to respond to you. It was not kind. Unfortunately I agree with Aalo that you cannot make someone do something they do not want to do. If for whatever reason she has moved on then you have choice to move on as well. One thing I have learned over the years...

    Me and Anna

    Hi aspiebirder. You didn't state whether she is AS or NT and you didn't say whether she knows you are AS or not. First let me say I am an NT woman an I admire that you have self evaluated and have seen there is an issue and are willing to try and help fix it. With that said I will go with...
