Hello. New here. Supposed to introduce myself I suppose. 28 year old male. Finally started seeing a therapist a year and a half ago for what I thought were a host of random problems I could never sort out that nearly all turned out to be attributed to asperger's, which was diagnosed 6 months after beginning therapy. Three years ago I moved across the country and I recently moved back to where I came from and I brought my girlfriend with me. She's NT but knows about, accepts and even encourages the fact that I'm aspie. She's constantly telling me that being aspie isn't a disorder or an illness. We're struggling to rebuild our lives after the move while also learning how to cohabitate with an aspie/NT, respectively. It's tough but fun. I've also got a new job in an office meeting all kinds of new people and trying to figure out how to deal with all the new triggers I never knew I had.
 
That's lucky of you to have such a supportive significant other! Change is hard for us, and I hope your adjustment period goes relatively smoothly.

Welcome to the community. :)
 
Welcome Kneghx,
To be involved in a relationship, the support of that person is critical, which it sounds like you have. Open honesty is the only way relationships like ours work. As for the whole new office scenario, most of us have been there, so feel free to lean us, when u need to.
Cheers

Hi there! Welcome to AspiesCentral! I'm so glad you're joining us. And your girlfriend sounds like a wonderfully supportive person. My boyfriend is just like her. :)
