I'm the best flavour ever, like candy floss maybe. I'll literally try to stop the wind from blowing in a hurricane before looking to repair the house that was damaged by it. and by this i mean that i am a very supportive person who cares dearly for the people around me, including my girlfriend

each aspie is kind of different so it is difficult to tell you ahead of time what to expect. my best advice to you is to read some of the threads around the forum to get an idea of the range of the behaviour and emotions of aspie men. think of it like this; a person couldn't predict too much about you based on just your diagnosis (though people may think they can), and the same applies to your aspie.
about the dynamics between the two of you, i'd say that you might want to be aware that when you have a difficult time about something, he may try to help solve the problem for you as opposed to just saying those comforting words people come to expect from partners. but not every aspie is like this either.
i think both aspies and people with BPD can benefit from therapy (even the same programs like CBT and DBT) as it can help them with coping skills and gaining perspective and so on. *some* of the same interpersonal issues and can manifest similarly in both disorders, which is even more markedly noticeable when looking at the criteria listed in the International Classification of Disease as opposed to the DSM. people with the 2 disorders may or may not seem similar, but there are certain behaviours and types of disordered thinking that apply similarly to both categories.

Thank you, helpful.

So what about meltdowns?
I'm getting the impression of just let the meltdown happen and talk to him once he has calmed a little.
(my flavor of BPD is the kind that shuts down when s**t gets emotional)

Sex?
I guess slow and easy and a lot of communication...

Can I just ask...is it possible BPD and narcissistic personality disorder could be diagnosed mistakenly for someone who actually has Asperger's? I'm reading about what they are (the one, and in that article there was a link to the other), and it seems like a lot of the characteristics could easily be applies to "normal" people, as well as people with Asperers.
Sorry, I've only read the first page, and I'm THRILLED you guys seem like a nice couple! It's great too you care so much you came here and are trying to figure stuff out! You seem like a great person
