Is that how they see us...makes me feel like a specimen or something in a petrie dish. :cry:

Maybe I should start calling my hubby 'the old NT' - don't think so.

Those forums also tend to attract the nastiest people, because the ones who are not going to sit around and put up with nastiness, for the most part find somewhere else to go.

And they wonder why their Aspies don't appreciate them (lol). And after looking through some of the posts it is funny how some of them claim that Aspies blame everyone else - I think they need to take a good look around at some of their own posts because they are blaming everything on their spouses AS. How convenient for them.

Well lets look at this on a balance

Any of you who are under the dellusion that being with an asperger partner (yourself included) is not differnt or potentially challenging to anyone who initially is not familair with AS is living in fairyland here. This site wouldnt have a niche otherwise. Some of what they say is justified the advice they recieve is more like a bunch of house wifes gathering together to b***h at their husbands some of those threads read as scripts from desperate housewives for gawds sake.

Now on the other hand I read what some of these partners says and to be quite frank im laughing at their inability to communicate when supposidly it is their partner with the communication difficulty I mean I do wonder if these people are actually trying to be in mature adult relationships because it doesnt read or come across that way. Infact sometimes I wonder if there not pisstakes as opposed to real people i mean i wonder what a relationship would be like with these people between your average person.

I'm sure some of us are difficult - myself included. But, don't some NT's seem to be seriously high maintenance themselves - unable to amuse themselves, always needing compliments, ect. I also wonder - if these men were so unemotional or uncaring why did they get along with them in the first place - apparently it wasn't their charming personality :)

Ugh - started seriously reading through some of the posts on there - these women certainly seem to have issues of their own. Only ONE did I see so far seem to make any attempt to explain that they are doing the same thing - complaining about it being unfair that they should change themselves and yet they are demanding that of their AS partners. What is bizarre to me is that they seem to have little to no empathy for the AS kids either (although the one kid described sounded like classic OCD/contamination issues) so instead of helping they just make fun or get irritated.

Yeah, I read a lot of that too. Blaming their children's AS for their life decisions, "She only thinks of herself! Not of her kids!" Uh, how is the daughter going to learn how to be successful in relationships if Mom is such a whining sadsack with her own losing streak?

My parents are bizarre NTs, but they modelled decent relationship/parenting skills. I probably wouldn't have as much faith in long-term relationships without their example.
I really do wonder how is it they met, married and bred with these guys they hate so much.

I think every male who is complaining about being lonely needs to read through this spouse web site.Some of them are better off then the men who are with these women.I didnt read anyone with any sensee of personal accountability for choosing the relationship they were in!!!Did these "ASHs" just kidnap them or charm them down the isle and then "turn "aspie...they make it sound that way.I have dated some guys who I ended up not being "compatible with" but I DID have a say in being in the relationship.I made some bad choices and I got out before I married them....(or as these women say...DUH!! !)

Yuk.

I was having a look last night...(maybe they're watching us too 8O )

What occurred to me was that these spouses/kids or whoever that they are so freely slagging off to the rest of the world, I wonder how they feel about it. I hope they make it here so they can get some support.

My partner has been known to call me "My little Aspie" in an affectionate way when I've done something particularly stereotypical, especially if I'm feeling bad about it, but never to be mean.

Some of the Delphi folks may just be venting their frustration and unacceptable feelings in a place away from their family member/friend.

They can claim they are Martians too but that doesn't make it true.
