Dunno' how similar situations & interactions are between pair comprised of 'AS female & NT male' compared with 'AS male & NT female' couple ? I'd be interested in finding out more about this too. I'm going to buy Tony Attwoods 'Complete guide' and hopefully have a good read over the nex...

My thinking about relationships is that as long as you remain open to them in your life, then you are just the same as eveyone else. Only by closing ourselves off from forming relationships do we start to become different from others. That said, it sure is an up hill climb. My only consolation is th...

Bisbane based, family of five children and still married after 18 years. All this, and I score at the extreme end on asperger diagnostics, go figure. My wife is a saint. Very interested in anyone who is working on long term relational issues. Over my marriage's timespan, we've obviously identified a...
