    asperger men should not feel discouraged by females.

    How did I prove your point? I'm trying to work out if I have just been insulted or not! I am very happy in my relationship and wouldn't change my partner for the world but we both had to make adjustments in order to make it work. I didn't prove that no woman would date a guy on the spectrum or...

    asperger men should not feel discouraged by females.

    I don't think it is rejection as much as not understanding what ASD is and how it affects people. I am an NT dating an ASD guy. There is no doubt that our brains are wired differently! So if you meet an NT who has no idea about ASD they will misread the signals. Especially woman, we analyse...

    Should you tell a girlfriend/boyfriend that you have aspergers?

    My view as an NT in a relationship with a guy with ASD is yes. He told me straight away and before we met for our first date. I think he was right to tell me and give me the choice. I have always really respected him for that. Maybe the relationship has more of a chance of survival if both...

    Really need some advice :((

    Just wanted to let you all know I have seen him and you were all right 'we' are fine he just needed space. Thank you all for being there for me :))

    Really need some advice :((

    Thank you and I think you are right, I think he doesn't realise because I haven't told him. I would prefer to do that face to face so there is no misunderstanding. Last night he knew I was fed up and asked me what was up, I just told him I was fed up with everything, he took me at my word...

    Really need some advice :((

    Thinking about it, can a relationship where on partner has to withdraw ever really be completely healthy? It will always be difficult but do we walk away from everything that is difficult. I'm not sure any relationship is ever completely healthy they all all have their issues. My late husband...

    Really need some advice :((

    I dont thinks it's unhealthy I think that I am unsure because I don't really understand. I lost my husband suddenly at few years ago it took a lot to love again and I am afraid of hurting again so these feelings are about me not about him. He has always been affectionate and caring and is in...

    Really need some advice :((

    Thank you I am trying but right now I am so sad, confused and lonely. I don't know if I should expect to see him again and I don't want to ask. You see if he manage without me for a few weeks he might decide he doesn't need me at all. It is so hard when our brains are wired so differently. I...

    Really need some advice :((

    Thank you all so much. I am letting him know I am here for him and being understanding of where he is in his head right now. We have spoken a little and he said other than work he isn't really doing any other things right now. I do know that time spent with me would just be too exhausting for...

    Really need some advice :((

    Thank you so much :)) it is a major crisis that has affected his whole family. I guess the fact he has shared it with me shows he cares. I don't want to tell him how it is making feel via text, maybe I need to let him get his head clearer and then tell him face to face. I am just feeling lonely...

    Really need some advice :((

    Hi, been a while since I posted but I really need an the advice of some non NT's. Ok I have been with my ASD partner for almost two years. It has definitely been a learning curve and there has been hard times but I love him dearly. At the moment it feels like my heart is breaking and I'm not...

    Killing the Mood

    First off I saw some humour in your post, I am an NT in a long term relationship with an ASD guy and I recognised some of this in our relationship. In the beginning I found myself hurt and confused quite a lot but most of the time now I just laugh ( with him not at him ) because I know him and...

    "But s/he looks just like me": How we confuse NT partners

    I am 17 months in to a relationship with my ASD partner, I am the NT. It has certainly been a rollercoaster of tears and loneliness and yet he is probably one of the most caring men I have ever met. I feel like I have had to unlearn all the old relationship rules I knew and learn a whole new...
