Married to someone with Aspergers: support thread 4 (replacement one)

5 replies

changerofnameaspiethread · 05/03/2019 11:50

This thread is for partners seeking to understand the dynamics of their relationship with someone with ASD. It is a support thread, and a safe space to have a bit of a rant. Avoid sweeping generalisations if possible, try and keep it specific to you and your partner. Otherwise the thread can be deleted, like Support Thread 4 The Original.

Hi all, this thread is part of a long-running discussion on Mumsnet.
It was originally set up with the following request:

This thread is for partners seeking to understand the dynamics of their relationship with someone with ASD. It is a support thread, and a safe space to have a bit of a rant. Avoid sweeping generalisations if possible, try and keep it specific to you and your partner.
(ASD partners welcome to lurk or pop in, but please don't argue with other posters and tell them they are wrong).

As always, if you're concerned about any post on here, please report it to MNHQ and we'll take a look.

Hi all.
Just a gentle reminder...
Please don't rehash last night's fallouts.. This thread is a chance to reset and hopefully share experiences and get some support.
If you're worried about any posts, then please do report them and we'll take a look.

Just wanted to echo Michael's earlier post:

This thread is for partners seeking to understand the dynamics of their relationship with someone with ASD. It is a support thread, and a safe space to have a bit of a rant. Avoid sweeping generalisations if possible, try and keep it specific to you and your partner.
(ASD partners welcome to lurk or pop in, but please don't argue with other posters and tell them they are wrong).

  • Please do keep this in mind when posting.

Thanks Flowers

Hello everyone. We've had a few mails now about the website linked above and so we thought it best we address this on the thread.

We fully understand that this thread is an important source of support for many MNers, and so we moderate with this in mind. While we're far from the experts here, the site linked has received quite a lot of criticism for generalising and equating ASD with violence, among other things. Because we don't know enough about the website's reliability as a source of info, we've erred on the side of caution and removed it.

While we'd never consider minimising the experience of an individual MNer, we do ask that generalising is avoided. Similarly, we also ask that all users respect that this is a space for people to have a vent and get support, and to please not argue with other posters about their own personal experiences or tell them they are wrong.

We can't promise to always get this right but we hope you understand where we're coming from. Thank you.
