    Would a relationship crash and burn with one having ADHD and the other having Autism?

    Can anyone tell me since I have ADHD and my boy friend has Autism would our relationship work? I really want to know because I really love him very much and I don't want to lose him.

    Meeting (NT) partner's family

    Hi all, I've found myself in a bit of an awkward predicament, one that I've been in for many years now. I've been with my current (NT) boyfriend for 4 years and still haven't met his family. I went to his grandma's house once to meet her but that was very early in our relationship...

    Crushing on an Aspie

    Hey everyone, To start this off, I am a guy crushing on another guy. I am fairly new here because I never knew much about aspergers until about a week ago. I met an guy who happens to have it, but seems like he's very high functioning. A lot of what I read in this forum doesn't apply to him. I...

    Not capable of being in a relationship

    I have never been in a relationship before. I've had feelings for people and people have had feelings for me; but I either suppress my own feelings or turn people down who show interest in me. And the weird thing is that I do want a relationship, it's just that I see it as this vague...

    Barking in the Dark/the NT relationship paradigm

    Barking in the dark. That's what I'm doing right now. I just got the call today, and in the course of 20 minutes my world went from stable and predictable to "you're going half way around the world to do things you don't want to do." Ugh. But anyway, I just wanted to post something before I go...

    Reactions from NT partners

    Hi all, I am in a long term relationship with my current (NT) boyfriend who I started dating in 2013. I self-diagnosed in early 2016 and got my official diagnosis at the start of this year. I've always been very open with him about how I think and see the world and also about my autism...

    Aspie Newbie, diagnosed late.

    Hiiii, im 18 from Wales (uk). I got diagnosed in the end of January after a few sessions with a Aspergers councillor. The diagnosis came as a huge shock to the whole of the family but when we actually looked at the traits it was obvious. I have been in counselling since the age of 14 on and off...

    Balance is a tricksy hobbit.

    I've made it through my first month back in med school. It's been quite the month. In january I was sitting at home, overweight, chainsmoking, binge drinking and worrying about the future. These last four weeks I've spent twelve hours a day studying, I've stopped smoking, hardly had a drink, and...

    Light bulb moment. NT married to an undiagnosed Aspie

    This forum has been a gem. I've been with my husband for 7 years but married for a little over a year. Our relationship right from the start was not typical. I was very flexible and went along with whatever he wanted because I enjoyed it and also I was getting to know him. That's my personality...

    Can you be happy with living alone for a long time?

    I'm not saying that I am alone. I have many friends and besides, I am only 19. But sometimes I worry how life will turn out when I am in my mid 20s to 30s. I feel that I might be alone for a long time to come, and when I mean alone, I mean having that special someone in your life. I was never...

    Getting back with someone

    Has anyone here experienced starting a new relationship with an Aspie who for multiple reasons (mainly unresolved issues with themselves, feeling pressured, depressed, not "normal" enough) backed off in the previous relationship? My person (can't call him bf any more) and I are still very close...

    Making Friendships

    Greetings. This is a very confusing and frustrating enigma... I've always been completely introverted and intellectual, and spending time in isolation is not usually a problem for me. However, seemingly endless days and hours upon hours of habitual deep thinking, writing & reading sometimes...

    Introduction

    Hi, I was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome two years ago, when I was 19. I graduated high school in June of '13, but wasn't able to go to any of the colleges I applied to, either because of the lack of affordability or I got rejected. After that I signed up for FEMACorps. FEMACorps is a...

    I'm autistic and very attracted to my team lead at work. Express myself or move on?

    Hello everyone! I'm new here and haven't yet written a bio, so let me very briefly introduce myself. I am 30, male, and was diagnosed with ASD Level 1 with associated anxiety disorders last September (what a mind trip). I constantly encounter new obstacles to overcome as I learn more about...

    How did adult diagnosis (or suspected) affect your relationships?

    Hi Everybody. I've posted several things on here and your feedback has been immensely helpful. This is probably going to be really long so I hope that doesn't discourage you from reading it. I feel like I need to give you the history. This has to do with how becoming aware you were on the...

    Theory of mind and ASD/NT relationships

    I was talking with a friend of mine and had an epiphany of sorts. Would like your feedback. I recently broached the maybe-you-have-Asperger's subject with my bf. We have had some relationship issues I felt were influenced by his ASD-like thinking. He is almost 50 years old and says no one has...
