Why difficult for relationships with aspergers?

Post Reply New Topic

I suppose i could add myself to the category of 'beginning again'. The thing that makes this new relationship different is that this lady i am involved with now has something special to offer. she's actually willing to help understand the things that are involved with a.s. and my limitations and what i need to work on in therapy. The problem i have is that she's in Canada, and we don't get to see each other as much in person as we would like. Double headed challenge, being newly a.s. diagnosed and in long-distance relationship is close to the scale of impossible in an n-t mindset, but i am at least willing to give the 'impossible' a try. It won't be for lack of effort on the communication side. we call each other or video chat on a daily basis, and she's been down here in the states once, i to Canada twice. finding someone who is willing to work with and be tolerant and learn of the problems and limits of a.s., as well as be open to the possibilities beyond it are, in my limited experience, extremely important for me. being open and honest about it as possible was important for me to turn it from being a barrier to being something that can be worked with. i could go on and on about how we discuss the things that are hallmark a.s. that happened in my past, and persist today, but that's kind of off topic. understanding with communication and truth go a long way in the relationship i have right now. I wonder if it's something that I needed years to learn or understand that makes it work now?

Relationships are difficult for everyone, not just Aspies.

Yes todd

tired as s**t. Been up too long.
Stress and perv.

hey its a website...Grammer is supposed to be ignored. lol, Abbrievations PWNS!

Ah yes. Very well then i shall convey my original message and its meaning in more formal language....
I was mearly trying to add playfull banter to my posts. The message was in fact intended to be satire in its use of exaggerated language to attempt sarcasm. Sorry to cause offense... Though in truth I think that use of profanity is just as intolerable as bad grammer.

I can understand that opinion,
and do try and keep it down,
outside the adult section. But,
occasionally, 'tis the only way
to really express something
in all of it's pureness. There
MIGHT be times when this is
also true of 'leet speak' but
outside of certain sections of
the fora, I think you'll find that
a more genteel tone is greatly
appreciated.

Absolutely logical! Sometimes one must step into the realm of what is considered to be vulgar in order to express an oinion they feel passionate about. Though I think we may have strayed from the original topic of this thread.
