    Worst Movie You've Ever Seen?

    Re: Worst Film Ever Made Goes To... Definitely 'Australia'. Absolutely horrendous! I was soo hoping they would do Australia justice but it was all wrong, couldn't believe it. The language, even though they were Aussies, was so awkward. The only moment of saving grace was Hugh Jackman without a...

    Dating an Aspie - Any Tips?

    One funny thing I found with hobbies. We both love photography. My aspie husband is also a tech geek and he loves and knows all about all the buttons and functions that a DSLR has and he loves the rules on how to take an aesthetically pleasing photograph. Then he's annoyed because I haven't...

    Living with an Aspie

    I'm also an NT and am married to an Aspie. I have exactly this problem with housework and feeling resentful of his time with the computer following his interests instead of helping. Recently I had a win by better articulating what I wanted him to do. I've started with him cooking Monday and...

    Dating an Aspie - Any Tips?

    Hi, welcome aboard! I am newly married to an Aspie and we've been together for about 5 years. I highly recommend it ;) We have had some whopper arguments in our time but we can always discuss them afterwards.

    Men & Women Please Answer...

    I'm a female NT and I agree with this. I have had to learn to ask for what I want (like flowers on valentines day, cuddles when I feel low for no reason or help with moving boxes) a lot more then I have in previous relationships which means I sometimes feel cheated as I feel he's only doing it...

    Finding it hard to meet people around my own age

    Hi Fitzy, I'm in Oz too. I met my aspie partner riding motorbikes. It is a perfect passion for him. a. He gets to tinker with the bike to no end b. It's a sport that involves no real social interaction while it's going on - helmet c. There are generally well established rules you can follow on...

    "Aspergers is not an excuse."

    @ Soup: thank you for your posts above, especially the part about melt downs. It was illuminating for me to hear it from your side. When a melt down is over it usually takes me a bit to recover afterwards and I have never really gone back to ask him why it happened and what the process is for...
