I suppose it's about being open to different cultures and mindsets. That's a good thing. You are devoid of prejudice Kraftie. Those of you with aspie partners maybe aspie/aspie relationships are easier. I am so happy to hear when people find great partners, it is quite miraculous these days, or am I wrong?

You are are way smarter than you let on!

Boo's hypothesis relates to a personality trait - openness to new experiences....

I guess one needs to be NT to master the art of the backhanded compliment :roll:

Pepe,

Hah, you're funny.

My bf did admit he was aspie before I met him in person. That wasn't particularly what turned me on to him, though. We had a lot of common interests and experiences that we discussed before he dropped that bomb :lol:

But I am also aspie, so.....

Meeting him in person pretty much sealed it; he was adorable. Still is :heart: :heart: :heart:

Those twirling Dervish's have done something to my eyes, I kept reading this as "I met him in prison" (even now?)

An aspie trait is long term loyalty.
I have it,
And so do Labradors . :mrgreen:

So it's looking good for you both. :wink:

I notice a pattern here: A lot of married men here are married with women of cultures different than theirs - in case the wife is not aspie.

I think Teach's Aspie boyfriend is the same culture as her, both Israeli

Teach isn't autistic.

That's my point. Teach's partner is...

I was pointing out that the title of this thread is a question posed to autistics who are in relationships with an autistic person; not who is in a relationship with an autistic person.

But the thread is asking "Who here is married/relationship to another aspie

That assumes both parties are Aspie

Boos' curiousity regarding aspies forming relationships with women of different cultures/ ethnicities kind of brought me into an additional discussion.

huh? its a joke, she is very humble about how smart she really is...that was my point...why is it I'm the one accused of being hypersensitive???

Yous sense of humour might need an upgrade. Pepe could help

After what happened to Isabella I'm sick of seeing people getting snippy and passive-aggressive towards the nicest people here.

Edit: if you didn't mean to be nasty, I apologise, it's nothing personal. As I said, I'm getting sick of people being a-holes towards others for the s**t and giggles.

Aliens must think its hilarious that we can make grandiose attribution errors based on flimsy things like culture

Actually it makes perfect sense to me that women of diverse nationalities might accept unusual behaviour with less judgement if they assume it's just a different cultural communication norm. Perhaps also these women are just from a more enlightened and tolerant environment, unblemished by "shaming" and bullying, a different value system, kinder and more sensible.
