Hi. Lurker delurking.

I'm looking for a couple of specific things.

I'm looking for advice from mothers of small children who's co-parent has AS.

1. How do you handle the sensory overload that happens to your partner when the house gets to be too loud with everyday kid noise or the normal desire kids have for touching and cuddling overwhelms your partner?
How do you explain that to the kids in a healthy, non-critical way?

2. Where can I find resources for co-parenting with someone with AS?

3. If it is not asking too much, I would like to hear success stories from people who have successfully parented in an NT/AS relationship with multiple children.

I've been scouring the internet to find information on parenting/marriage with AS. I found a bunch of "RUNNNN!! !!" advice but little actual useful information on making it work.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Yes, please check the parenting forum. An an unmarried, non-parent, I can't say much on the topic. However, I'm sure that's a worry that many people have had, so rest assured, you're in knowledgeable company. :)

Also, welcome to Wrong Planet!
