First post here, Just did a self diagnosis test 135/200 and 85 NT.
So its my wife that said one year ago, don't be angry at me but you have AS.
After the 20th time of leaving and going to stay at her mums place with our son, I fear her not coming back this time.
I have only acknowledged my AS in the last 3 days..........I know there are things I can do about it now, we have been together for 12 years and I pray she will come back and give this one last go, I feel there are a ton of strategies we can now put in place........
I pray she will come back and give our marriage this chance, and I fully believe we can work through this, I have faith that I know what it is and why I think and do what I have done.............
Mat this must be a really really tough time for you, and I hope those of us on this website can help in whatever ways we can. Have the two of you tried marriage counseling? I would highly recommend it - because a key problem AS can cause in relationships is breakdown in communication.
Also, welcome to the site! If you are AS, as you and your wife believe, please don't feel ashamed or afraid. We're all just quirky oddities and different from the norm - we have different problems but also different strengths. A good place to start here is in the getting to know you section and in browsing the general autism discussion section to learn more about AS in oneself.
