When we’re young we may be called “little professors,” but when we get a bit older, we’re more like “absent-minded professors.

Kind, open and non-judgmental people do not “mutate” me as I like to call it, and these are the people I do want to be around.

No matter how much your AS male loves you, there will be numerous times and ways that he cannot connect with you.

If you are the partner of a man with Asperger’s you may be the one who first noticed his anomalies; he may or may not be officially diagnosed. You might be perpetually frustrated at your inability to connect with him on a deep and consistent level. One day you feel as if your relationship is finally on solid ground, and the next day that ground has dropped out from under you.

An Aspergirl must face the world with the aim of supporting herself, being fulfilled and not needing anyone else to support her – especially in the United States, where benefits are very hard to come by and have several hurdles, all of which seem to have the aim of humiliating you and eroding self-esteem.

When you do meet someone you like and who likes you, early disclosure may be the way to go. When I started dating my partner he knew from my work that I had Asperger‘s.

Yours is a neurological, physical condition, not a spiritual one, not a psychological one, not an emotional one, although certainly problems in these areas will form if you don‘t get the help and support you need. Try re-framing each and every issue that is plaguing you. So much of life is how you look at it.

The trick is twofold: increase your self-confidence, and also, seek out the good in others, find whatever aspect of them you resonate with, no against.

Kind, open and non-judgmental people do not "mutate" me as I like to call it, and these are the people I do want to be around.
