I'm outraged, in my own silent way.

I've seen references to "delphi" and "AS Partners" all over the place in the little time I've been posting here, and I'm appalled. How can ANYONE refer to their spouse as "my Aspie" as if he/she were a possession to be toyed with and bitched about?

Could we start some sort of virtual army, to flood these ridiculous cretins' boards with a little of the logic/rationality they seem to lack?

:x

I wouldn't mind being somebody's Aspie.

It's a term of affection, surely?

Yeah, like my husband is my hubby, my pinoy, my......well you get what I'm saying????? If the "Aspie" these people are referring to is offended I'm sure he or she would say something. I mean really, how many aspies are shy about speaking their minds????

If you've ever read what they say about "their aspies" you'd know that no such affection exists. They are awful people, most of them. Narcissism abounds in the population of that forum.

Okay, I haven't seen the references at this forum, but doing a search, I found the delphi forum and sampled posts there. holy crap. What a kettle of witches! They're stereotyping AS, men and anything else in their path. blech.

BTW, the forum is moderated. I wouldn't join just to get kicked out. It looks like one of those gooble-gobble "you have to be one of us" to join.

I actually went back to see if there were any redeeming posts. I couldn't find any. There is a link to another forum for spouses that actually want to stay married or learn more about AS.
I mean there are a lot of anti-NT posts here or angry posts about the treatment NTs dish out, but there will always be someone to contradict them. So, WP doesn't look like this big block of anti-NT, everything is someone else's fault.

I'm not offended by this. Why should I? Liek someone else said, it's probably simply like "my hubby" and instead of saying "my Aspie hubby" it's just "my Aspie." I don't think it has to be patronizing or demeaning. But if you want to read that into it, go ahead.

And if this is an NT bitching about their AS spouse, why can't they? Why can only us AS people b***h about NTs?

I hope you're right, but from what I read, it was all narcissistic, and condescending. I had a very strong impression, perhaps mistakenly, that on most of the occasions used, the rest of the posts held little affection.

PS - Sorry I didn't reply with a link. Had to sleeeeeeeeeeeeep :)

This web site upset me too! I read a post that started out, "I don't even know what to say. They are always going to let us down," and I had to stop reading at that point, because I was crying. That post was in reply to a woman complaining about the behaviour of her AS husband, and I can't even understand what her issue exactly is! Seems like a bunch of nit-picking with a hint of egoism to me. And this web site makes me think about my relationship and how I am a constant disapointment too. UGH!
