Hi
I'm posting on here after a long time but I hope someone can help.
AIBU to be annoyed that there is hardly any support for family of adults with Aspergers Syndrome.
My DH has it - and it honestly has been the most lonely and depressing experience for me. I just want to curl up in a corner and cry - feeling stuck and lonely.
My family and friends are not supportive because they don't understand what it is nor are they willing to find out! As he is high-functioning - this makes it worse (for me) because then the autism is all hidden. UNLESS you live with the person.
I feel like no-one understands my experience - how difficult it can be.
I'm not saying DH is a bad person because of the syndrome - but the symptoms of it effect me emotionally and mentally. This is why I am in desperate need for support.
All I want is a group of people who I can talk too who have a spouse who has Aspergers Syndrome. People I can relate too in real-life, where my experience will be heard and understood.
Am I going crazy or is there really very little support for people in my situation?
Tia
