    The Struggles of the NT Wife

    He is 47, almost 48. He is ASD1 for sure, I believe when he was young they simply didn’t know how to explain him, thought he might be gifted and somewhat ADHD...he was valedictorian in high school and college, and for an almost perfect score on the MCATS. He just has some specifics...

    There can be times when things get tough when you think they are just a dick, but really they aren’t. It good to see things through both lenses.

    I actually feel better about him and less judgmental now that I see the responses on here. I see the general similarities and that is helpful.

    The Struggles of the NT Wife

    It’s funny, your replies sound like something my spouse would say. They include assumptions of things I never said. I don’t need help with diagnosis, I know that already; I think I said that in my intro. I am here for support and perspectives. I don’t see him as a client; I would have left him...

    The Struggles of the NT Wife

    @Crossbreed I’m not sure I completely understand all of what you are saying...I am a therapist myself and do work with mental health daily. I have consulted with colleagues as well as doctors and psychiatrists about him. I believe what I see is simply neurodiversity, but I do see developmental...

    The Struggles of the NT Wife

    @Mia This is sooo incredibly true! My husband is NEVER brought me roses, or given me a card, or sentimental gift of ANY KIND. He finds holidays and birthdays completely ridiculous; it is very difficult to get him to even enjoy and collaborate in my own family's traditions, but he does it for...

    The Struggles of the NT Wife

    That sounds like a joke my husband would make:) It's really witty and funny, but hurtful at the same time; I reflect on it inside, that I must be a selfish person for wanting to feel differently than I do, for wanting things from him that, logically, he can't provide. Trust me, that is my first...

    I printed the Fair Fighting Rules and brought them home...these 30 on the link are better than the ones I have from my practice! Thanks for those:)

    The Struggles of the NT Wife

    I am currently taking medication for myself, and I do have an individual therapist. As a therapist myself, I know it is important. But these comments and feedback from other AS people are sooo helpful. This is something I was missing, is knowing what others in my situation were doing. I know...

    The Struggles of the NT Wife

    He used to say to be a lot “just let me reset.” I thought the comment was strange. He would tell me that, in a few minutes or even an hours he would “forget” an argument or fight and not be upset anymore. I could never comprehend it. I would remember things for years! This was another clue for...

    The Struggles of the NT Wife

    I do believe he is depressed; I believe the SSRIs were helping him, and stopping them a few months ago has hurt him and was a mistake, but you can’t talk to him when he decides something. He can be very stubborn as well. It’s hard when there are multiple diagnoses at play. I know I can’t fix...

    The Struggles of the NT Wife

    I feel like the masking lasted many years, and just became unhinged about a year ago; this is when the extreme challenges came, serious mood swings, extreme disinterest in working on the relationship or talking about things at all, more time in seclusion with his interests, more arguments that...

    The Struggles of the NT Wife

    Thanks so much for replying...the behaviors I listed in the intro were his initial ones, which were much more like ADHD. I have not gotten into the many things that came out when we started living together...I wasn’t sure how much I could type in the intro! Lol...those are the ones that made me...

    The NT Wife...What does she do about it....

    This blog will deal with the trials and tribulations associated with being the spouse of an AS individual. It will talk about the many behaviors and challenges spouses or partners face and brainstorm ways to deal with them. The hope is to gain coping skills and support for spouses and partners...

    The Struggles of the NT Wife

    Good Afternoon, My name is D, and I am new to this site. I found it on the internet while searching for more information and support in dealing with marriage to a spouse with Asperger's. I met my husband 7 years ago on an online dating site. It truly was love on the first date. I found him...
