NT Women
My friend is a quiet guy, he thinks he's ugly, but he's not and he says he's a nerd, buit he's just a hard worker. He has lots of trouble with high school girls. I met his dad and his dad acts the same way as my friend. He complains about the girls going with jerks and stuff like that. and I said yea they do, but dont think about it or it will drive you nuts. I know a girl who likes him to, although I never told him that.
I asked him questions about his dad, and he said his dad met his mom when he was in college. His dad is 45 and his mom is 55. How HOT!! lol anyways.
I just want to know
The both seem to have aspie traits.
Tell me what attracted you to your aspie husband or bf or whatever, and what is your age difference between him. are you older, younger, same age? and where did you meet him.
My aspie guy is the same age as me, and we met through facebook.
I don't know if you're familiar with facebook or an application on there called 'owned', but it's like an auction game where people post photography and art and you bid on it and it goes to the one who pays the highest price.
I was buying lots of B&W portraits, and I bought his. And then he wrote and asked me why, lol, and I told him cause it was B&W and the price was good.
That was that - we just kept talking.
My aspie boyfriend is 7 years older than I am. When I first met him, I was very young and I was amazed by his brilliance. He seemed to know everything, and was able to think critically about obscure philosophical and religious points. As I grew up, we became each other's closest friends, and started officially "dating" when I went to do my undergrad where he was getting his PhD.
My husband and I are 4 months apart. I'm an American, he's French. We met when we were both 14 in Iran. He saw me under a street light one evening as he was riding by on his bicycle. He says now that he got a flash of my face and something like a bolt of lightning struck him. He skidded to a halt. I remember, he turned in the bicycle seat and spoke to me in French. He was beautiful. He was an athlete and built like a typical Frenchman, and looked older than his real age. Like 18. I replied that I don't speak French and then, with that gorgeous accent of his, he said in stilted English, "You are mine. You always have been mine and you always will be mine. Someday, you will understand." My heart leapt... my instincts told me to get the heck out of there, that this guy was just too strange, but... my heart said, "Why does that make sense?!"
Long, long story short, we lost each other during the Iranian Revolution, found each other on and off again for the next 30 years and then, 4 years ago, we found each other for the last time and found that neither one of us was married to other people or too wrapped up in college or career or young children to take that final step... we got married in a civil ceremony on May 15, 2006. And even with all the hardship of living in his native country, without language skills, or a job, or the ability to drive a car or operate as a full adult... and his AS and bipolar disorder... we do adore each other and try hard every day to take care of one another.
You know, he told me once that one day I would understand. And I do. It's not easy, this love of ours, but I do.

Typically, aspies do better online than in person. And my hubby is very good on the phone. These forms of communication tend to work better for aspies, because there is no demand on them to interpret and respond to body language and many of the social cues NTs use when having a real world interaction. It is said that it was aspies who developed the internet and that personal computers find their origins in aspie labs and garages. It makes sense to me. And I applaud them for creating these wonderful tools that allow our two worlds to connect!

Well, as I shared in my above post, I am head-over-heels in love with my husband, BUT, maybe you should pop on over to my WP blog and read my journal entries if you want an idea of what life with an aspie partner can be like.

You may also want to take a look at a thread I started when I first arrived at WP. It got a ton of response and I think other NTs thinking about sharing life with an aspie might find some things in there that could give them answers or pause for thought.
Angry NT Wife Seeking Community thread
I wish you the very best, whatever "the very best" for you turns out to be. Just remember that romantic love takes work, even in the best of circumstances. It's just that with an aspie, everything you thought you knew about "love" does not necessarily apply.
Hope this helps!

Sounds like a romantic adventure...

That's actually a project my hubby and I plan to share if we can ever find our way through these hard times we're going through. There is no good ending to our story yet, and what a let down it would be for our readers (but most especialy us!) if the story ended in divorce!
Right now, everything is just soooo sad...

My aspie husband is 2 years older than me. We met on an internet chat application called ICQ. We chatted on and off in quite a casual manner for a few months. Then on New Years Day in the morning I was chatting to him and we decided to catch up in the afternoon to watch Bowling For Columbine in the city. It wasn't really a date. I just had noone who wanted to watch it with me. He had already seen it, but he liked it, so he said he'd watch it again with me.
It was showing in a little cinema that I had never been to before, so I got lost and I was running late. I was running to get there, but then when I got close I decided I wanted to make a good impression, so I stopped running and adjusted my walking pose into a more comfortable one. I found him out the front of the cinema, with a smirk on his face. I realised that he had seen me stop running and start walking casually. His first words were 'Bella, I presume'. (Well, he really said my real name).
After the movie, we went for a coffee and chatted about the movie. He was really quiet. Later he told me he thought I was really smart the way I was talking about the movie. It wasn't until I brought up cartoons from my childhood, like Astro Boy that he relaxed and actually started talking. From there, the 2pm meeting turned into 12pm sitting on a park bench chatting
It actually took a while for us to start dating though. I told him I was only interested in being friends. It was only when I found myself wanting to ring him and talk to him a lot that I realised. I had never felt so comfortable and relaxed talking to anyone before. It just took me a while to realise that. As for him, he was interested in me right from the moment he saw me adjust my walking pose to make a good impression... He said he usually wouldn't chase girls, but I was different.
It's 6 and a half years later now and we're having our first child.
