Coping with an adult with Asperger's (4)

09 Jan 2009 08:40 AM

Very helpful reading the blog, Ms. McHugh, as well as the comments/responses. I'm in a relationship (going for over 4 yrs.) and am coming to the conclusion that the aloofness, lack of intimacy, caustic remarks, aggression may not have anything to do with me - but are signs of (possibly) Asperger's. I have been to a psychotherapist with my partner twice but this possibility has not yet come up. I'm curious to see whether Asperger's is the answer to the riddle that is my partner (while well aware that handling the topic requires sensitivity - a sensitivity I am not encountering from my partner... ). So tired of feeling alone and manhandled.
