| Does anyone else get these after a particularly stressful time? My husband gets them in his mouth and throat and they are so painful. The doctor and dentist are both unable to give any helpful advice to lessen these lesions. |

| I just had to put my dog down two months ago. We got her as a rescue dog, the vet thought she was around 15. It was a very hard decision but what ultimately made me decide whas her stress level.she had really bad vision, fell a lot, and noises made her really freak out. She kind of had a meltdown wh... |

| I've been married almost 12 years. My hubby was diagnosed about 2 years ago with AS. How do we make it work? I supported him, emotionally when he wanted to get his PhD in Chemistry. I shared his obsessions as much as possible, by joining clubs with him and making friends who accept him for who he is... |

| I'm starting to think this may be a "guy thing." My hubby has AS and can't give a straight answer. He gets caught up in his own thoughts and will answer the question he was expecting. If I ask a y/n question, many times he will look up, look at me (so I know he's listening), take a deep breath, then... |

| My husband gets exhausted after a really intensely stressful event. When we were first married we'd have a row and he'd instantly fall asleep, it made me crazy. Now I just know he's spent and needs to recharge. I think anxiety is really taxing and maybe you aren't aware just how overwhelmed you get.... |

| My husband is the same way. Yes or no questions work well for us. Email is good too, surprisingly. When he does reply, we both have a record of the conversation. I can't begin to tell you how much better my husband and I communicate since we got iPhones...it's crazy, right? |

| OMG. That is a great, great, great idea. I've done it to a limited extent but I was all worried that everyone will think I'm nuts and super controlling if I go to town with the idea. I don't care, my parents are nuts so I shouldn't be so worried what they think! Ugh. Parents. My whole little family ... |

| I am married to an Aspie and we have a 4 year old non-Aspie little girl. I can honestly say that having a child has helped my husband a lot with social situations. Being a dad has brought him way outside of himself and I've seen him bond with our little girl in ways I really never dreamed of. They j... |

| That's kind of what we try. My husband won't or can't tell me what it is that makes it difficult. I've explained to my parents about how nervous he gets and they seem to understand that he won't be spending all his time with us when he's home from work, it's just an ordeal for him to be around them ... |

Normally, they would take their RV to see us but my step mom has some chronic health problems and her doctors won't let her take the RV trip this year because her blood work is al... |

| Hi Sam, The cycle was very hard to break. Convincing my husband of anything is next to impossible because he gets into a "zone" where I'm the bad guy. We saw a marriage counselor because I didn't feel like we were connecting and I felt trapped into having 2 toddlers, one who minded and one who didn'... |

| Hi Phil, My hubby & I used to fight about everything. A lot of it went away when I realized that he felt attacked all the time and was looking for criticism when I wasn't giving any. It took a lot of convincing on my part to make him realize I wanted to help him be less stressed. I read a lot of... |

My hubby, Paul, gets really really stressed out when any family visits us and we have a few houseguests scheduled this summer. Poor guy, he stresse... |
