Any Aspies on HIP forums? For those of you who don't know what Asperger's is, try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperger_syndrome I'm an Aspie on the more high-functioning spectrum, and currently in a relationship; I gotta tell ya, it's extremely difficult for me, but I am trying as hard as I can to pull it off. Luckily, my guy is understanding and patient, but it can still be nerve-wracking for me. The eye contact thing is a big hurdle, but surprisingly sex was not difficult at all. And his parents are extremely warm and inviting, as well as professionals who toke up Any Aspies on here at all dealing with relaionships? Do you have difficulty or an understanding? Is your partner as Aspie as well, or a NT?
I'm very lucky here. I'm aspie(high functioning) and so is my dh. We work really well together. That said, I haven't had huge issues in relationships with men. I had greater issues in my teens in finding friends at school. I didn't even know I had Aspergers back then. I have more issues in large groups of people so intimate relationships are fine.
