I think those marriages are very unfortunate.
I feel sorry for them.
Sometimes diagnosable conditions - including Asperger's - serve as "identified patient" so the unhealthy system of the whole family remains undiagnosed and untreated.
I feel sorry for individual members up until the point when they denigrate a whole group of people in a hateful way and do it by claiming every bad person is or was an Aspie every bad trait is caused by Aspergers. The proceeding is most of what they do on that and similar sites. I look at them in similar ways as I do the KKK or Nazis. In fairness, they are not that bad. As far as I know, they have not killed any anybody, engaged in acts of terrorism or enabled or approved of violence. With the language they use to describe us it would not surprise me if a member of the site commits an anti aspie hate crime or as a group they talk themselves into such a rage that they become a violence spouting or enabling group.
