    Aspie or NT? Marriage Poll

    I hope I'm not speaking out-of-bound here but from my viewpoint (an NT), I don't see what the problem would be with 2 aspies "amplifying" their aspie traits together. No one seems to be concerned about 2 NT people doing the same thing. The fact is, if the majority of people in the world had...

    Aspie or NT? Marriage Poll

    My aspie wife has helped me (an NT) in many areas. Specifically in situations where I would have normally responded back in a defensive or hostile manor to someone...she has helped me to look at the situation more logically rahter than emotionally. This has helped in my job a lot because a...

    Communication Errors?

    My aspie wife though "Le Bare" (sp?) was a "French Bar". She was quite mortified when I told her it was a male strip club. :D(We still laugh about this)

    Gullability

    My first inclination was a reference to "the cow jumped over the moon". However, a quick wikipedia browse uncovered that this nursery rhyme wasn't written until the 16th century so this hypothesis wouldn't work. I guess they just said a lot of weird things back then.:)

    NT husband needing help understanding Aspie wife

    Thank you so much for taking the time to respond. Your situation does sound very similar to ours. The "express train" analogy really helps. It's hard for us NT people to realize the amount of overload that takes place sometimes. Great tips on the intimacy as well. My wife has read the "22...

    What's your favorite number and why?

    My aspie wife's is 13. Having AS, she finds no logic is superstition and therefore claims this number is lucky for her (which is a bit of an oxymoron and furthermore, 13 typically is lucky for her which makes it even more bizarre) As an NT, mine has always been 11. I do have anxiety and some...

    "Try too hard" to make friends. Anyone else?

    My opinion only....CONFIDENCE is the key. I find the most popular and likeable people are not those that are sterotypically perfect. They are the ones that embrace their diffrences and are not afraid to be themselves. Over-agreeing, while this would seem to be a logical friend magnet, can...

    eye contact?

    I also find it interesting that they based your daughter's diagnosis on eye contact. My wife is an aspie and I am NT and I would say that we both look other poeple in the eye at about the same frequency (for different reasons I would imagine nonetheless). I tend to do it more to show...

    Problem saying "thank you"

    My aspie wife is the same way. As an NT person, I can see how this can sometimes come accross "inappropriate" is you don't say "thank you" at the "appropriate time". This is probably something everyone here already knows, but as an NT person, we expect everyone to communicate with the same...

    NT husband needing help understanding Aspie wife

    Thank you ALL for all of your comments. This has given me a lot to think about and several new ideas and approaches. I already feel better about the situation. I am still learning about my wife after many years (as I'm sure all husbands do). I'm looking forward to continuing to browse the...

    NT husband needing help understanding Aspie wife

    An example of a point I would make would be if she is saying that I did XYZ wrong. Then I might say...how is this any different from 3 days ago when you did XYZ as well and didn't have a problem with it. What I would expect at that point is for her to say either: 1. those 2 scenarios are...

    NT husband needing help understanding Aspie wife

    Wow...you are saying some of the same things she says to me. This is very enlightening. She does say in a heated argument that she needs some time to process everything whereas I'm the type that wants to just get it all out in the open and over with. I felt like I had come a long way in the...

    NT husband needing help understanding Aspie wife

    This does help a lot. It's funny what you say about the surprise b-day thing because my wife has told me many times that she would never want a surprise b-day party. It's nice to hear that other people are the same way as my wife. I understand what you are saying that her lack of spontaneity...
