I am not diagnosed but am sure I'm an aspie and realised this after the birth of my son. I have been with my partner for three years and we have a one year old. I'm terrified to tell my partner. I haven't told anyone else either. I feel like there is a stigma and also AS is misunderstood, eg the idea that we have no empathy. I have a lot of empathy. It could help him to understand my meltdowns and that they don't make me a horrible person.
I don't really know what I'm asking here, but any advice or encouraging stories would be great. Thanks.
If he feels you are acting horribly towards him, then having AS would not make that ok because, regardless of whether or not one has AS, or anything else, there are wrong ways to act towards and treat people.
If you think you have AS, and your husband thinks your meltdowns make you a horrible person, then you really should seek counseling to help you better manage the situations which cause you to have meltdowns, and help you address them in a more appropriate manner.
