Are You a Neuro-Typical in an Asperger Relationship? You Are Not Alone!

Loneliness is common for those who have an Asperger partner or family member. I am constantly reminding my clients who are in this position that they are not alone. Asperger Syndrome: Partners and Family of Adults with ASD now has 298 members. Our members are from all over the world. I wanted to share a few thoughts from our overseas members to remind all of you that you are in fact NOT ALONE.

“Thank you for welcoming me in your group. My husband and I met met over 25 years ago and his defense all those years was blaming me for everything that went wrong in his or our life. It was an eye opener that he was diagnosed with Asperger’s and now it is time to become ME again. The ME I was when I was just a teenager. I can’t battle autism (and I am not in war with autism) but I refuse to let me be overruled by it.”

“Hi Kathy, thanks for your welcome. Its a great relief finding this group. My husband is an aspie – nobody understood me. Being isolated and unbelieved made me feel crazy. Then one day I found your book and I realized “this is my story – this is my life.”

I appreciate the personal thoughts and comments from our members. The topic for the next Meetup is “You are not alone. Let’s play!” It will be held on September 17, 2011 at 1:00 PM in Portland, Oregon. It’s time to reaffirm your friendships and reaffirm your right to be alive. We all deserve some time to have some fun! Are you a Neuro-Typical in an Asperger relationship? You are not alone – join us!
