me and my boyfriend have AS, its hard as we are both bad at communicating but good as we both understand each others struggles.

weve bought some books on communication to help so hopefully that will make things better.

I wouldnt date an NT man as I would find him too emotionally needy and clingy, but an aloof intelectual who was almost AS might do.



My ex aspie was needy and wanted me on him all the time and be with him all the time. That's what he acted like anyway. He acted very NT because of what he expected in relationships like any other person would expect.

I guess you two are back together.

yes Ive met a few needy aspies guys, i was supprized as I presumed all AS people would be aloof.

not read my posts then, we got back together the day after we broke up :roll:

weve made some ground rules such as Ive agreed not to glare or raise my voice and he has agreed not to send mean texts and emails and weve agreed not to talk on the phone and to only visit at weekends.

You expect me to read everything here? Seesh. I don't read all posts or all threads I see. Too much text gets overwhelming for me. I blame it on my short attention span. I read shot posts but the real long ones I don't read much. I either skim them or read parts of it or not at all.

And yeah I did read through your posts after I made that post and saw you two go back together. I wanted to see if you did or not and I was right.

me and my boyfriend both have aspeger. we met through a supporrt group and have been dating 6 months.
i think that a both aspy relationshop works better than a 1 aspy 1 n/a because you both understand where the other is comming from.

saying this i do belive that aspy and n/a relationships can work. what do i know, i am only 17.

You could be right, it takes a certen person with a high level of understanding to take love somebody with aspergers. i love my girlfriend with all my heart and i do spend lots of time reading and learning more about aspergers than she does herself...

Today i introduced her to this website to help her learn more about herself but now it is up to her to grasp this heaven of infomation and run with it.

Re the phone thing - I hate talking on the phone which my husband knows and understands so we also don't talk on the phone. Most people in relationships (i.e. NT's) spend a lot of time talking on the phone so it may seem like we're SUPPOSED to do this, but that doesn't mean WE need to.

You used to claim to be borderline AS/NT. Changed your mind?


That's what I meant.

Well "probably" means "maybe" but you are not sure. So to say you are maybe a borspie means you could be one but you are not sure.

The relationship I was in with my last Aspie girlfriend was always going wrong. Not to say all Aspie-Aspie relationships are like that, of course, that's just my experience. However, if I was going to go into another relationship I'd prefer it to be with a Aspie.

I honestly get along pretty well with pretty much all my freinds and I would prefer to date an NT girl to avoid the drama in a general sense, even though I lack experience in relations. This is my opinion, honestly.
