Parenting with an Asperger Spouse in Real Life vs. Hollywood

With so much emphasis
being placed on Asperger Syndrome, many are left wondering, how can
someone co-parent with an Aspie partner? What about the children of an
Asperger parent? How can a child thrive when his or her parent has so
little empathy?

I’ve been moved to investigate these sensitive and unique issues especially after writing “Life with a Partner or Spouse with Asperger Syndrome: Going over the Edge? Practical Steps to Saving You and Your Relationship.” As many of you know, I am currently writing a new book entitled, “Parenting with a Spouse or Partner with Asperger Syndrome: Out of Sight, Out of Mind.”

I have found that
when you live with Aspies it’s the ordinary things of life that cease
to function properly – like getting enough sleep, or asking your spouse
to pick up a child from soccer practice. When co-parenting with an Aspie
these ordinary things become strained and turn into not-so-ordinary
moments leaving the Neuro-typical (NT) partner feeling drained,
unnerved, and tense. In fact many NT spouses/partners report a variety
of psycho-somatic and immunodeficiency illnesses such as migraines,
arthritis, gastric reflux and fibromyalgia.

If you find yourself in this situation, you are not alone. There are answers to this dilemma and I will continue to write about those answers. I encourage you to download a FREE

sample chapter of “Parenting with a Spouse or Partner with Asperger Syndrome: Out of Sight, Out of Mind.” I will continue to keep you updated on any news about the book and when it will be available.
