Autistics Share: Professionals Miss the Mark in Recognizing Autism in Women

Hence why I have ADD/PTSD/OCD/SPD/Major Depressive Disorder, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and Trichotillomania. Instead of ASD.
Our Professional did not miss the mark. And we are incredibly thankful to Dr. Landry. Beyond thankful for him, in fact.

INFJ Personality Type: Lover of Beauty & Wisdom
personalityjunkie.com
By Dr. A.J. Drenth INFJs are 'old souls.' Many grow up feeling wiser than would be predicted by their chronological age. Having discovered the value of their Introverted Intuition (Ni) quite early in life, INFJs
I am INFJ as well, though I am only slightly towards the "J" part and sometimes could be INFP.
The Meyers Briggs personality test is hogwash.
I have never believed in personality types. People are much more complex than that....you can be this and also love to dance and crack jokes.
I thought we tend to be more than one personality. Just like a chain of different types and one of them being more dominant than others. I feel myself very in with this personality type as well INTP.
I’m not aspie (lots of my family are), but there’s also a link between ENFP & adhd- and that’s where I fit into the puzzle. Huge proportion of adhd people are enfp.
I was always tested as INFJ. I had no idea it was cause I'm an aspie.
I test either as INFJ or INTJ. I am pretty much cusp F/T
I’m an INTJ - all the other autistics I know have tested as INTJ or INFJ
I’m an INTJ - all the other autistics I know have tested as INTJ or INFJ

Autism Spectrum Disorder Causes High Anxiety Levels
anxiety.org
Dr. Tony Attwood offers constructive and destructive strategies to use to cope with anxiety caused by Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
What part of it may be autism per se and how much is being expected to conform to NT ways,
Not only in people with ASD, but other family members as well. *edited as my original comment missed the mark and came off as uncaring and rude, for which I apologize.
No shit.
Yeah, I've had to take several days off work because I work for a Babies R Us. Needless to say, these past couple of weeks, and the next 2 months, are going to be really difficult
no, other people cause high anxiety levels for autistics.
I can definitely say hypersensitivity and sensitivity to emotions is part of it for me and my son. He’s actually home from school today because he was having thoughts and high anxiety about something (couldn’t explain what) but I could see the emotion in his face. He’s usually so excited about school so I knew something was different. It’s ok. That just means him and I get to spend time together in what I call a mental health day break 🙂
Yes, for my son autism and anxiety go hand in hand
Great advice in this article!

Cognitive distortions that add to anxiety, worry, and stress, include:
All-or-nothing thinking, looking at things in black-or-white categories, with no middle ground. "If everything is not perfect, I'm a total failure."
Overgeneralization from a single negative experience, expecting it to hold true forever. "I didn't get hired for the job. I'll never get any job."
Focusing on the negatives while filtering out the positives. Noticing the one thing that went wrong, rather than all the things that went right. "I got the last question on the test wrong. I'm an idiot."
Coming up with reasons why positive events don't count. "I did well on the presentation, but that was just dumb luck."
Making negative interpretations without actual evidence. You act like a mind reader: "I can tell she secretly hates me." Or a fortune teller: "I just know something terrible is going to happen."
Expecting the worst-case scenario to happen. "The pilot said we're in for some turbulence. The plane's going to crash!"
Believing that the way you feel reflects reality. "I feel like such a fool. Everyone must be laughing at me."
Holding yourself to a strict list of what you should and shouldn't do and beating yourself up if you break any of the rules. "I should never have tried starting a conversation with her. I'm such a moron."
Labeling yourself based on mistakes and perceived shortcomings. "I'm a failure; I'm boring; I deserve to be alone."
Assuming responsibility for things that are outside your control. "It's my fault my son got in an accident. I should have warned him to drive carefully in the rain." ... See MoreSee Less

This is a place to take a good look at yourself -- and hopefully do some healing along the way as you take an honest view of your attitude and values - in light of your disorder.
Some people have come in here and contaminated the group with their defensiveness and verbal attacks. Most of those individuals have already been banned from this community, and I'm sure there will be more to come after this post.
Speaking of that, go ahead and reveal yourself now so that we can get rid of YOU, too. We are not politically correct around here -- we speak the truth, and ridiculous complainers are banned for life.
If you have a polite disagreement with anything posted -- fine. Otherwise, excuse yourself - or the moderator will!

Been there done that (except church) worst part is how expensive on how much you pay, bills and rent included (depending on how financially stable you are)
Also having aspergers =/= living alone. I for one am happily married. Having ASD is just a different set of things to work through with your partner. There are very open minded and lovely neurotypicals out there who will accept and love ASD people for who they are, and many ASD people who’d gladly be the partner of another ASD individual.

Part of me gets it. I’m not always 100% stable, but it irritates me that they won’t even GIVE me a CHANCE to prove myself!! 😠 I cannot learn without making mistakes! I cannot do more if they are too afraid to give me that chance! It truly sucks! 😥😑

Those are my two aspies 😍
Yeah that’s true we kind have no control over that but I learnt over the years to adapt to the situation
I remember going into a restaurant once when I was tired and spacey after a days work. The waiter asked "How would you like your burger cooked.?" Without thinking, I answered "Yes please."
" It's not the dress Karen " " It's not the dress "
I promised my wife that if she ever asked me if clothes made her look fat, I would say yes. I then told her I did not want her to get in the habit of thinking her weight, up or down, influenced, in any way, how I felt.
Jennifer....Doesn’t this remind you of Athena’s humor?
Here are some cringe inducing, but very funny, things that tend to happen to you when you are "overly" literal. Such social blunders are almost diagnostic for those along the autistic spectrum. However, most people have had this happen to them, especially if they are highly distracted. The relationship between literal truth and social truth can be extremely tenuous. It also varies tremendously by situation and can be a substantial barrier between people trying to interact across different social strata, genders, professions, and cultures. In this and other ways, Aspies represent an example of people from a fundamentally different culture that you can talk to here on earth.

Used to feel like that all the time but eventually figured it out. If you stop pretending to be someone and something you can NEVER be, life becomes a lot better very quickly. Actually, let me quote a norm because people are more likely to listen to norms.
Wonderful article, and very much needed words. Even after many years, it’s still an emotional learning process and it is truly encouraging to see that as alone as you may feel dealing with AS, many successfully understand the struggles and still thrive.
One characteristic of some adults with Aspergers and High-functioning Autism is a keen sense of being rejected (i.e., a readiness of avoiding people and situations that hold the potential for criticism). Many Aspergers adults were criticized and ridiculed as children by their peers, and this carries over into adulthood. Based on various surveys of the U.S. population, it is estimated that approximately 40% of Aspergers adults would endorse the proposition, "I do not tolerate criticism very well." ==> www.adultaspergerschat.com/2012/03/overcoming-fear-of-job-hunting-tips-for.html ...

Yes. I have a reason for avoiding people, and even when I do, I still catch hell for being me. Last year I went to a meeting at work and heard all the bad things that were being said about me that weren't true. It was awful. The only saving grace was that half of the people there approached me later and said they had nothing to do with it.
Avoidance here🙈 I became a stay at home mom instead of working. But now at 31 I’m looking to finish college and go into teaching. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻 because I’m scared witless!
I love how always peers...for me was teachers or other authority figures eho really stigmatized me As for this i just doubt i am suited to work. My best skills are the kind if thing you cannot really monetize and my second best require so much college to monetize ut is not even funny.

The worst was being persecuted by fellow SPED teachers who knowingly created a hostile work environment. Traps, lies and team-ups when open ridicule didn't faze me.
I've never coped well with criticism, and have always had a terrible fear of rejection
thank god i'm retired now but i made it through, working many places but knowing/feeling i was different-also heard way too many times from the time i was very young "what's wrong with you"....that's the worst thing you can ask anyone and back then, no one had a diagnosis unless it was 'very' severe.
A lot of this comes from today's adults not being diagnosed as kids because it just wasn't available then.
So sad too when it's family that do the ridiculing 😕
With me it started when my father told me he didn't like my personality, I was 10 years old. Since then I knew I was different and the avoidance of criticism just grew worse. People I worked with picked up on this and used it against me often. i think they enjoyed seeing me cringe.
Hey Walt, take a look at this!
Ehow does one "network" when you're not being exposed to people who can help you along the way?
This article describes me so well when it comes to job hunting. I used to be so anxious about interviews that I'd throw up in the bathroom before EVERY interview! I have some tics that get exacerbated when I'm nervous and sometimes I stammer, so that makes it even more difficult for me. I have a job coach who helped me get the part-time job that I have now, but I'm looking for another job to supplement my income and I'm SO, SO nervous about job hunting again.
Yeah I remember being called a "weirdo" but I just dove deeper into my bedroom playing my guitar to an extent of playing the songs note for note. It was my escape, nobody understood my differences . I've learned and adapted to blend in with society now that I'm an adult but I remember people putting me down in school. People suck!
I avoided full time work for almost 2 1/2 years as my at my previous job(at my son's special needs school) the teacher and TAs were setting me up for a fall, extremely petty things were brought up and I lost the job I actually enjoyed....I now have 2 jobs in the neighboring academy where I invigilate and am a Art technician...where I am often on my own (art) and invigilating with a few others and my confidence has come back...it took a while... ironically the teacher that made my life hell for 6 months now teaches my son...
Things have gone much better since I have decided accept my limits and work around them. I will never be an NT and I have given up trying, but I will continue to try to fake it tho...

Depression drains your energy, hope, and drive, making it difficult to do what you need to feel better. But while overcoming bouts of depression isn’t quick or easy, it’s far from impossible. You can’t beat it through sheer willpower, but you do have some control—even if your depression is severe and stubbornly persistent. ==> www.adultaspergerschat.com/2011/10/dealing-with-depression-55-tips-for.html ...

My wife and I have both got Aspergers and seem to be on the same wavelength- most of the time.
It seems like the thing to do, is to punish the aspi until they fear your anger. Then punish them for flinching when they think something they can't quite understand will set you off. Add some sarcasm and rhetorical questions that they will try to answer. With just a little work you can make loneliness so much more attractive.
Had a couple of failed relationships with NT men....then I met another person just like me and he and we just clicked - and it’s been on a whole new level and unlike any other “normal” relationship ever since - I don’t think I would ever bother dating an NT again as they just don’t seem to even want to try to “get you” 👍❤️
Sometimes I hate my brain, I have a brilliant long term memory but rubbish short term, I forget instructions (most of the time) almost instantly, I struggle every day at work, I get told I'm grumpy every day despite feeling perfectly happy my face just doesn't let me express it Sometimes, I can learn any language you throw at me and remember it forever, numbers may as well be non existent for me because I can't do math or remember them, it's like looking at the matrix... I have depression... probably branching from my aspergers.... I'm not stupid neither do I ever ask or want sympathy, i could go on all day about hypersensitivity, not getting every joke or emotion... but really my point is to the partners that don't have aspergers... but live with one that does, my gf isn't my strength, my strength comes from every day I've lived getting knocked down by those who will probably never understand me and getting up each time.... but she is my foundation.. she's the home I come back to, the one that doesn't judge, offers the benefit of doubt and understanding that without I probably wouldn't be here... You have that power too, you are the clarity in the confusion.. please don't give up on us because of most others have in the past.... the world will never change for the minority, but you can make love your foundation and priority
For the most part it’s all understandable to me the “issues” my partner is faced with. Our biggest “problem” seems to stem from the fact that my partner doesn’t seem to want to spend time with us or acknowledge if there are things she’s more interested or focused on. Is that common?
Bella Bellis
Are there any resources on how spouses can help their partners? How to communicate better? My daughter was diagnosed last year and learning more about her has made me realize my husband is probably on the spectrum too, and may be at the root of a lot of ongoing issues we have.

Accurate explanation.
Taylor I don’t resonate with all these extremely but the description is still relevant
Dean Brookes
Very accurate 😢
I have not had to do any of that for quite some time now. Once you remove the norms from your life, you are not forced to pretend to be one of them and all of a sudden, things improve dramatically.
I am this way. Took a while for my husband to understand that I wasn’t giving him the silent treatment it was just my way of dealing with the issue. I have to implode. I haven’t experienced it in a long time. My husband knows not to dig at me for answers but just let it happen and then tell me he’s there for me if I need anything. Once it breaks I’ll come out if hiding and be ok and can discuss. But it’s such an ordeal. Your mind is racing and so much is going on to process that is like it’s impossible for your brain to make sense of the culprit. So for me now it’s more of a let’s get to the bottom of what caused this and then psychoanalyze how to treat it. It’s pretty crazy stuff though.
Our oldest daughter does this and we understand that when she is ready to talk she will come and find us because she knows we are always ready for her and her sister. I know I have Asperger's as well as her I just haven't been diagnosed like her. But, at 43 I probably won't either
Like this video a lot. It's usually the very small triggers in my experience.....
if the cause for shutdowns isn't addressed, or sufficient time to recover during a shutdown --- they just become more frequent and it takes less "trigger/s" to have one. The saddest part is that "pushing thru" causes brain damage ... one is literally frying one's circuits (thus resulting in less elasticity and more frequent "shutdowns").
Many high functioning autistics who have not been diagnosed often have a "shutdown" event during their freshman year at college ... when all the "stimulation" --- roommates, classes, constant noise, light, etc. .... and no "escape" results in a "shutdown".
I can so relate. Only recently diagnosed after 28 years of seeing mental health professionals
strange knowing at age 63 that i've had this my whole life-it explains 'so much'.....i grew up in a time where you just 'did what you were told' and there was no diagnosis for anything unless it was 'severe' enough to be 'very' noticeable as in, 1 boy in our whole school who was said to be mentally retarded.

Taylor Davison
How do I find a girlfriend to begin with? What do I do after leaving the house? Where do I go? There’s no single girls at my workplace or in my church.
Not my partner but my 35 yr old son. I reckon he could be driven to lying to get out of confrontation, a painful and unnatural situation. It's like still having a teenager in my home and my comfort zone is irrelevant, even if I too have lots of aspie traits. He can be wonderful, but if he digs his heels in, in his increasing isolation and lack of room hygiene, he would lie to keep me off his case.
Could someone tell me what those characteristics are on the video please? I am visually impaired, so, the video is only music to me. 🙂
I find this very true and I only recently was diagnosed with Aspergers as well... way more empathy and understanding than with anyone else for me.
well I can only speak for myself... *sees women for who they are – yeah ok *not the “macho type” - I'm not, but many women seem to prefer this type. *resembles their father – not sure what to make of this... *being kind, attentive and socially or emotionally immature – yes but I've come to better deal with my emotions *reliable, honest and steady – yeah, good *less “game playing” - I hate all “mind games” *intellectual depth can be appealing – hopefully *speaks his mind …due to his strong sense of social justice and clear moral beliefs. - yeah *physical characteristics and attentiveness can be important, especially if the woman has doubts regarding her own self-esteem and physical attractiveness. - I do not care to take advantage of anyone but I'd prefer for her to like herself. *attentiveness can be perceived as almost obsessive – hopefully not *words and actions can appear to have been learned from watching and rehearsing lines from a romantic movie. - I do not do this
Celebrating 17 years with my Aspie husband. He is the kindest man, doesn't have a mean bone in his body. I love the way he looks at things, he sees things that I would never see. His humor is so odd too, he is hilarious. Of course there are times when I get frustrated mostly because he doesn't respond the way that I want him to which is silly but I'm human. However, he has to deal with all my stuff too and I'm no picnic at times. I feel that once I really dug in and learned about ASD it really helped me not to have unrealistic expecttions of him and I'm very specific in my ask. I felt terrible that I was so unaware prior to him being identified on the spectrum. Knowledge is power! We are raising a 14 year old Aspie daughter together. The journey continues.
Is Asperger's Really a "Disorder"? ... See MoreSee Less
off course it is..try being an Aspie for a day..
No doubt a government pushed project to reform allowances like Disability Living Allowance ect. It’s BS basically. Although I do think differently, it produces a lot of problems internally and externally. Numpties!
Yes, it is.
It definitely is, and we are misunderstood human beings out of the entire human race. Normal is just a setting on a washing machine. I don't care anymore if society accepts us or not. These idiots refuse to accept anyone that doesn't fit into their boring,conformed model of "Normal". It irritates me when people say "Be a normal person". Normal doesn't exist moron. The amount of ignorance in people is staggering, and frankly there are times i wander why do i even try with people.
By definition, yes. A neurological disorder.
So a 'different sort of normal'.
Aspergers does not work for a marriage unless it is identified before hand. A person with aspergers is very rigid, cannot handle stress, does not have compassion, is always right, is very self centered, if a person goes into the relationship with their eyes wide open knowing what they are getting into is one thing, to be in a marriage for 15 yrs and realize your spouse is never going to have compassion, does not care what you think, wants to tell you when to get up, when to go to bed etc. does not make a good marriage. Narcissisitict personality traits.
Autism is a spectrum disorder with Asperger Syndrome being on the high end. My son is on the spectrum but also has dyslexia, auditory processing disorder, body in space and spatial awareness disorder, anxiety and depression. He is also very compassionate and empathetic and is a "Mark" for many others that would take advantage of his kindness. My son is great with animals, kids and seniors but he has no time organizational skills and requires help in the "Normal" world. So not sure where your definition came from but we cannot lump everybody on the spectrum the same as it makes it difficult because generalizations makes everybody believe that they are all the same and quite frankly they are all different. It is very limiting to try putting everybody in the same box. I also do not like this video as again it is putting a box around the label which is simply dangerous. Dyslexia is a spectrum learning disorder you cannot put each person in the same box when it comes down to teaching them how to read and comprehend what they are reading. Bi Polar is a spectrum disorder.....
I have been with someone with elements of high functional autism for 15 years. Rough road but I made the commitment. I do wish there was a support group locally. My biggest issue to deal with is the lack of empathy and inability to show affection, etc.
I love this! Sharing now.
I have aspergers and I HATE it. Nobody understands and they don't try to understand. They just plain don't like me because of it.
Marriage can be very difficult.
I like the way I am and the way I think. It is just really frustrating when so many people can't be bothered to try and understand me and write me off as some type of weirdo.
If it was ONLY a preference for more object-oriented tasks or just a preference to be alone or even small comfortable groups/settings, then this mind-set is referred to as an introvert. I get what the post was trying to say in an abstract way but it dismisses many thing that bring it into a disorder. Generally preferring select groups or solitary work or settings is not a problem The way Autism can make how the world is viewed is wonderful. The anxiety, stress and depression that come with input overload, low tolerances for people, places and things. Hell. The need for a rigid environment, most of the time but not always, creates strife in families or intimacy. Choking, I want to...but I can't, hell. The inability of others to understand why sometimes we can jump out of the rigid routine to blow off steam, confuses others more. Stresses me when I can not explain it. Hell. Being gone with not talking to friends for months, even years, and then being shocked that it bothered the person you did not talk to. Why did it bother them? They could of called me. I had no time, the day to day maxed out what I could do. I am here now. Why are you upset with me? Hell. As individuals we can understand each other. Some of the differences are truly bonuses. But the reality is a world around us, that functions without most of our negative traits and I still struggle with why they can, but I can't. It is a disorder because the negative traits are not normal. Flipping out ( or having a severe panic attack) because a routine is disrupted or the butter was put in the wrong place...not normal. Hell on everyone in the home. I wish every day this was not me. I notice more, and more of the negative as I get older. I notice fewer around me wanting to be there or deal with me. Hell. A disorder. A disability. Some really good qualities overshadowed by stress, strife and other problems aggravated and made worse as time goes on. Even help, counseling, just teaches me to "fake it" . More stress. No. This video... It is stirring a pot with an intellectually-stifled, lump-all-in, statement that verges on insulting.
I feel it is a disorder...been living with it for 69 years. Always wished I had been aborted...
Everyone is different, different degrees of function, some are very intelligent and highly functional. More awareness and education is needed. To be in a relationship for years and wondering why it is not working, thinking you are the one that is not right because you are berated 24/7 by a rigid spouse. In this case you need to go in with your eyes wide open and have a support system. In this case the counselor did not pick up on the behavior and the wife was blamed. There is a lot of old school from entrenched church dogma if the wife obeys and does everything her husband says then the husband will be nice. Time to figure things out and mental health folks need to get a clue.
He'll know!!!
You bet it is..try dealing with bully's and see what happens?
Disorder? They should take a look at my house then tell me it's not a disorder.
We are who we are a lot of people don’t get people like us and I like it that way
I think it's only a disorder if it causing the individual signifant difficulty interfering with safety or achieving one's personal goals. It is not a disorder if it causes others difficulty.
The way I see it, if it's interfering with things you want, then it's a disorder. If it's interfering with friendships that you want, or keeping a relationship going, or getting a job and holding it, then yes, it's a disorder. When it interferes with you going places you want to go to or even being able to take your kids places they want to go to (because they want to go to loud-crowded-busy place and you go into a panic even imagining going there...) then it's a disorder. It's nice to say "we're all different and that's fine" because it is to a point. To me, that point is when it interferes with your ability to do what you would like to do.
definitely a disorder. But nice try.
It shurely is !
Yes. It is a disorder of the brain. In other words an Asperger's brain orders things differently than a neotypical brain.

Dating Tips for Aspies ... See MoreSee Less
Yes but I need to find someone first
James McKay-Pearson x
DON'T DO IT!!!!
Here's one. Dont. It is not worth the headache honestly. Friendships are hard enough and can generally last longer.
Aspies make phenomenal partners, just saying. But you simply cannot treat a relationship with them the same way you would a neurotypical. Build personal boundaries, dont treat them like a charity case, ensure they have agency and competency and right to privacy. You will often have to explain things that might seem very obvious. Aspies are honest, caring, however their lack of empathy should be viewed for both its challenges and benefits - its not something that can change. Don't ever make an Aspie feel wrong for who they are. They are prone to deception and manipulation, so truthfulness and straightforwardness go a long way, and requires a great deal if responsibility to maintain. If you are equipped to manage all that comes with dating an Aspie, the outcome, to me, is so worth it. Aspies deserve love and respect and affection, just like anyone else. They are uniquely gifted, and in my experience, make stellar partners if you understand behaviour.
I am Aspie and my husband too!! We have been married for 21 years, he is an excellent husband, caring, honest, loving and empathetic, we know how to respect the time and space of each of us, I love him and I think he is my soulmate.
I'm aspie, and have been married 23 years.

I have to turn the volume down anytime I play one of these videos but watch Netflix at full volume...perhaps you could adjust the audio track for people with sensitivity to sound? Just a thought, no big deal but it sort of startles me when I click on the video.
I live alone.. I keep my house clean, it has to be a certain way. I get anxiety sometimes when people just turn up. I don’t get many visitors I don’t know why. I can sit in my House and not talk to anyone for weeks upon end. I have a dog and I try and stick to a healthy diet. I like to paint and practice little hobbies but since my health is declining I’m finding it harder to look after myself. I’m in a lot of pain. Which makes you feel like shutting the world out even more and giving up
Please talk to your GP to get more help with pain and explain that it is harder to look after yourself. Maybe choose one person to ask for a bit of support and advice. Avoid getting too low a mood. Best wishes x

"To understand emotion you need an imagination" - any more 1990's misconceptions about ASDs you want to share?

Chelle Sode
Aspergers is a neurological type and narcissism is a personality type therefore it is complete folly to compare them in this way. One can quite easily have either or both. I know several aspies who are full-of-themselves and love being the centre of attention and are ruthless yet are completely disorganised and blunder their way through when they get control - NPD is a personality trait people develop and has little to do with their neurological makeup.
I can’t even believe this is a thing...people with asd FEEL and get others have feelings, people with NPD clinically are unable to get others have feelings. Autistic people love, people with NPD are unable to love anyone.

Ya that head cocking has got me misunderstood many times!
In the past I’ve been diagnosed with “mood disorder” whatever that is, major depressive disorder and social anxiety disorder. I honestly don’t want to take much stock in online AS tests as I would prefer to hear it from a medical professional, but every time I’ve taken the tests I have scored on the spectrum and now it’s nagging me because now I’m wondering if this is why I tend to repel people the way I do, without even meaning to do so. I’m often accused of coming off as “unfriendly”, “rude” and rolling my eyes at people when I have absolutely no memory or intention of doing so. When I try to explain myself it sounds so unbelievable to people, like I must realize I’m doing it and if I say I don’t I must be playing dumb or lying about it. It’s hurt my professional standing in almost every job I’ve had, no matter how much I enjoyed doing the job. I don’t even know what to say when people tell me I do this besides, “Sorry”. It’s bad enough that I’ve become an island unto myself because I’m so tired of trying to put myself in there with seemingly normal people only to be pegged as the weirdo over and over again. I’ve completely given up on ever making a real friend. I feel like a total social reject- like I’m just not worth liking or caring about. The only people on this Earth I can really open up to are my kids and my husband.

RE: “How do I communicate with a husband (has Asperger syndrome) who won’t talk? He tells me whatever I want to hear so that I’ll stop talking as soon as possible. If I bring up a topic that he finds stressful, he immediately stonewalls me. It’s impossible to get him to talk about his emotions. It’s like talking to a brick wall. If I really push it and go after him, sometimes he’ll respond and we’ll finally address something. But it’s like I have to freak out to get him to open up and discuss the issue at hand. It’s so maddening. I don’t want to be a ‘bitch’ - but I feel that it’s the only way to get him to engage.” ==> www.adultaspergerschat.com/2017/10/shutdowns-in-spousespartners-with.html ...

Shutdowns in Spouses/Partners with Asperger’s
adultaspergerschat.com
“How do I communicate with a husband (has Asperger syndrome) who won’t talk? He tells me whatever I want to hear so that I’ll stop talking...
I'm an Aspie wife. I hate it when my husband pushes and pushes after I have shutdown. I don't shutdown on purpose. It is a reflex. I can't help it. Pushing beyond that point feels like an attack. I am unable to respond. My brain switches off. My husband and I have found it is easier to discuss senstitive topics over text than in person. I don't have to deal with his emotion and I don't get overwhelmed. It isnt a perfect solution but it helps a lot.
I am the aspie wife as well, I melt down and shut down easily. Life is extremely hard and people are often very exhausting to be around, even when you love them. It is so much effort just to maintain a certain level of interaction. I require the help of an outside therapist/life coach. She helps me process life on a monthly basis. This takes some of the pressure off of my spouse who will often try to be my caretaker as well.
It is kind of hard to talk about something you don't understand or do not know about. What exactly does it mean to talk about your emotions? When I am angry I am angry. When I am happy I am happy. How do you expand on that?
You are assuming that large part of your problem is because he is an Aspie. I would venture to say that if you ask around wives with neurotypical husbands, they have exactly the same problem you do.
Sometimes, I literally can't say anything because I'm frozen. It comes with the pragmatic language struggles of HFA. I can't get anything out beyond what would sound like something a 13 year old would say so I say nothing. (And sometimes, I legitimately can't speak at all.) Because, what happens is, what I do say doesn't actually convey what I'm trying to say or the meaning gets lost in "translation" and it makes everything such a mess. It's just as frustrating for me (if not more so...not being able to speak) as it is for my wife. I'm sorry it's so frustrating for you. 😔
Well, you did know what he was like before you married him, so....yeah.
Is there a support group for spouses on fb? My wife has me AND my son as HFA... She has commented that since our diagnoses that she has come to understand us more and how to approach us/support us. And she has... I can tell, if anything, because she seems happier and less frustrated. But I imagine, there has to be an element of lonlieness to it. Any ideas or suggestions I can pass along to her would be greatly appreciated!
Choice in words is important. There are words that are more likely to shut us down that NeroTypicals use with no thought about their impact on us.
I used to melt down with my mother all the time. She, first of all, didn't know I was ASD, second, she had problems herself of some type and could be brutal.
Written communication is a great alternative. Write a list, like a nice bulleted orderly sort of diagram. EVERYTHING is better in a list 😛
Would having the discussion by text instead help?
Just let him be who he is. Don't push him. He can't help it!
From someone who can not understand, and just guess, talk in a way to get the other party, your husband to think and give you a answer in a way, that shows your open mind to his answer? And not tell him how to answer, which is very hard, but might be rewarded after, he may be Autistic, do not know how he thinks, very wide spectrum, but you might know more than you think, trust in your own feelings.
I really dislike and disagree with the part where it says that engaging more during a shutdown is “rewarding” negative behavior and leaving him alone will “motivate him to change”. That’s very insulting to the husband! 😡. He is not a child you are training, he is an adult struggling to cope with anxiety overload. Speaking as a wife with shutdowns I TOTALLY agree with walking away, giving him space so he doesn’t feel pressured to engage and the anxiety can calm down. But anyone who has experienced a real shutdown especially with temporary muteness, should know that it’s NOT a choice, nor is it a behavior you can “train” him out of. It is a behavior that needs compassion, tools, communication in advance on what he needs during shut downs etc. I agree with most of the other suggestions in the article, but that one paragraph will keep me from sharing this like I was planning on. 😞. It may just be poor wording and not the authors intention, but why we need space has NOTHING to do with not rewarding behavior! And the reason for not trying to communicate more with someone in shut down is because WE CAN’T HEAR YOU, or at a minimum can’t process what’s being said when in shutdown. And throwing more words at us just causes the overwhelm to be even more and the shutdown to last longer. So a few minutes of a communication break when someone is shutdown is to allow the panic to settle, NOT to teach him his behavior won’t be tolerated or rewarded. I know the article didn’t say it that harshly, but that’s certainly how it seemed. And If that’s the attitude a spouse reacts with “I’m leaving to not reward this” that is likely to make things worse, not better. I’m sure everyone here knows this, but that paragraph just really surprised me... didn’t expect that. Other than that there were some great suggestions that really could help!
I'm the wife with Aspergers, and my NT husband does this as well. I think it is a man thing.
My Aspie mum banned any affection in the house so I never got to show affection to my dad (we were alll Aspies) and we dont know if we'd have been punished for sg=howing affection and who would have been called a whore. I hate her.
Give him several minutes to respond. Let him think about what you're asking. It can take a while for him to formulate an answer. Patience is a huge key.
If want an aspies intention, it's best to find out what their interests are, then take them out to do something fun. I know that when I have had something more and relaxing to do. I'm easier to talk too and open up more about it. If he like going to the films or a Stroll/walk along the beach/ woodland/ even a park. It's a very sensory thing with most aspie. More relaxed means more open minded.
Hhaving discussions in a car helps. No pressured ete contact.
Perhaps a note or letter?
That's nothing to do with him being an Aspie. That's just his personality. Sounds like my NT husband!
What you can do is you can sit with his parents and you could start like a group and you can get him to socialize. Look I’m artistic but years and years ago I never used to socialize that much and I had behavior issues sometimes, however my step mom and my high school teacher all taught me over the years how to socialize with others and my step mom taught me on weekends. Here I am now and I like to socialize with other people. When I sit with a group of like five or 10 people at the dinner table on certain occasions I get all excited and I start talking to people from the time they arrive to the time they leave. Maybe his teacher in high school and his parents may have never taught him social skills. I got to say you know over the years I have mastered that. There are certain times now I talk like a real adult. Play whenever I get nervous about something, I do it like as if I was somebody in a kids movie who was maybe a bit nervous or afraid of something. Or whenever something scary comes I act like those characters from kids TV shows which is pretty funny. You know wherever you live, there’s probably a social skills program near your home in your county that can help your husband with aspergers socialize.
I'm confused. Isn't this a support group for Aspies? Why have we got NTs whinging about us? Seems a bit insensitive.
My husband was diagnosed when he was 52 and had developed habits that were and are still unshakable and we have worked very hard to help him navigate in the NT world. My definition of AS is they are the same as everyine else only more so, lots more. He realizes he has emotional blind spots because of his lack of empathy but we have figured out that if I turn the situation around and show him how the other person feels when he does to them what angers him when he is the object of someone elses behaviour, he does get it. And yes, patience is essential and I was short on that so separating helped both of us calm down. I have learned to pick my battles and not sweat the small stuff - so many of those old saying are helpful and can be very calming - that is another thing AS people should have - no drama or chaos and change is confusing - he gets this confused little boy look that says "what???". The rewards are great and I focus on this a lot - great sense of humour and he is a handsome dude too 😊
I gave up after 5 yrs. We're still together but I talk to others not him about deep stuff as he can't participate. Instead of resenting him or getting upset I accept its something he can't and won't do. He gets better with therapies at a snails pace. I try to talk to him about his interests & keep a tiny circle of others I CAN talk to.
Obsessive thinking is like a CD in a CD-player that’s stuck and keeps repeating the same lyrics. It’s replaying an argument with a friend in your mind. It’s retracing past mistakes. When people obsess, they over-think or ruminate about situations or life events (e.g., school, work, relationships). ==> www.myaspergerschild.com/2013/05/obsessions-and-aspergers-mind-help-for.html ...

"Since the Fall 2012, have been receiving Autism/Asperger’s Digest, reading and keeping every issue, always Temple Grandin’s articles first. The collective wisdom has not only helped me understand and appreciate these very unique CHILDREN/ADULTS but also realize what a great resource it is to apply to ALL HUMAN BEINGS. Now that YOU have become, what I understand may be, a more independent entity perhaps the DIGEST might consider being more inclusive for ALL CHILDREN? One copy in every classroom(?) across the country might not be just informative to the teachers and administrators but also parents, caretakers and even students of all ages."

I can't wait to watch this!!
Going to get it for my younger aspie son. He's in college and genius smart but painfully shy. My older son, also aspie is going to be 35 next week but genius smart and lucky he found his niche. He's involved in the post punk music scene and had a magazine and now an e-zine and lives in Berlin. Totally popular and has tons of friends. I used to think he'd be living at home forever and staying in bed most of the time while still eating only chicken nuggets and pizza. It nearly killed me but the end result is awesome! He frequently apologizes for being such a pain in the butt, but I told him clearly there was a good reason I was his mom, and we weathered it together. And.....there's that love thing!

Asperger Mom Network shared Lead Learn Live's post.

Wow!!! We are so excited!The announcement that we all have been waiting for is finally here!
LeadLearnLive is excited to announce that we have entered into an agreement with Northeastern State University to begin the first four-year, fully integrated, comprehensive
post-secondary program in Oklahoma for students with intellectual or developmental disabilities, TO BEGIN FALL OF 2018 !
LeadLearnLive has been at work since 2012 educating, gathering support and raising funding to begin a best practice program in our state. We are excited to have NSU as the first home for this groundbreaking program, and are so happy for the students who will be able to realize their dream of college in our state at last! NSU is an ideal location for the program and has worked very hard to make this vision become a reality! Oklahoma is one of two states left in the nation that does not have a post-secondary program of this kind for this population. The program will be located at the Tahlequah campus and be based on REACH, a program of College of Charleston in South Carolina. Students completing programs of this caliber show impressive improvements in independent living and meaningful employment. There will be four areas of support provided for the students including independent living, social skills, academics and career development.
Applications will be accepted soon. More information to follow!
Get on the email list so you will be the first to know!

Hey moms!
Random question from an OT... what are your experiences with taking your child to the dentist for routine cleanings, etc? And how can we teach dentists, hygienists to make these experiences a little less stressful for everyone involved? ... See MoreSee Less
Following. My experiences are awful. And we accomplish nothing. He does ok until they actually try to do something. And then he’s DONE. We’ve attempted everything from holding him down at one dentist, to ridiculous amounts of prizes, to just not doing anything. And ultimately the most we ever accomplished was done with him standing and nobody and nothing touching him. She had a little tiny camera he thought was cool that he could see projected up on the screen so he opened his mouth for a few seconds. We found some malformed enamel in the seconds she was in there and had to resort to an anesthesiologist to deal with it. I have nightmares about the dentist. ☹️. Would love to hear what has worked for others!!
Our hygienist shows him the tools before she tries to use them on him. That has been tremendously helpful. Sometimes she lets him hold them and push the buttons before she uses them.

Wardrobe change: Costume hobby allows teen with Asperger's syndrome to blossom
tulsaworld.com
It's common to see people wearing costumes at pop culture conventions. Owasso's Courtney Allen has an uncommon story.
My Aspy went to BronyCon a couple years ago as a My Little Pony cosplayer. For a young lady who was always anxious around strangers and large crowds it was one of the best experiences of her life. The fandom was enthusiastic and friendly and totally accepting of every attendee no matter their circumstances. I was particularly impressed by the color-coded system for badges they handed out indicating if it was okay at a glance to take your picture. Red meant no, green meant yes, and yellow meant "Please ask and introduce yourself." My girl went from red to yellow in minutes. I lost track of all the people she randomly struck up a conversation with. We're looking forward to attending again someday.

High functioning autism may sound like a mild disorder, but it can be extremely challenging. Find out why.
So very helpful! Thank you! I read about 5 articles here. I never had the money to get my daughter formally diagnosed as high level, though I know she is. Now she's 21, in college, & has been drinking since high school. I feel so guilty that I didn't help her more. Now she drinks daily. She avoids me as best she can.

Hey guys.. i haven't posted here for quite a while so i thought I'd touch base, and also to let you guys know I've decided to step aside from being an admin of Asperger Central indefinitely, and in case anyone is wondering, no I'm not ok.. Depression, as most of you would know, is a barstad of an illness to live with, and it's something I've always struggled with but never more so than the last 6 weeks, so its partly why I'm stepping aside from this awsome page and attempt to deal with the things that are troubling me.. Not sure if I'll be back but if not then thank you all for being good to me and thank you for allowing me to be of some if any help to you and those you love.
Peace 👌

My favorite saying in life is, This too shall pass. Please reach out to loved ones or therapists to help you. Hoping you will change your mind. Aspergers Central has meant a lot to many people. Take care of yourself!
God bless! There's light at the end of the tunnel. We aspies have our ups and downs but we get through it somehow. Just find in each moment what makes you happy, living in the moment instead of worrying about what might happen or what has happened. We cant control other people but we can control how we react to them. Its a struggle but as for me my religion has gotten me through everything.
Safe journey Craig. It's a bastard isn't it. But one step at a time as you said. Xx
Strength mate. One foot in front of the other (said to self daily), and huge appreciation for your efforts and help. Look after what you need to do for your own health and happiness.
Do whatever you need to do to make yourself feel better... it's OK to take time for yourself 🙂
It's so important to recognise when we need to step away from something. Thanks for this page which still serves as a resource to look through. Some of the memes you've posted here are amazing!
Hello, Thanks for leaving this page up here, there are a lot of things that have helped me be a better therapist helping people on the spectrum who have depression and anxiety. There really is so much that can help!!
I personally will be there for a listening post. Depression is terrible, and sometimes just venting the irrational B's to a stranger helps be lots. Email me if you choose I will respond asap
Sending good juju! Aspergers & depression is a really a bitch of a doozie. That combo can take even the strongest folks down for a bit, but you will bounce back! 💌
Do what you need to do for yourself. I'll miss you and keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Sorry to hear of this. Thinking and praying for you and hoping you get back to feeling better soon. Depression is such an awful beast.
Good luck mate, all the best. Stay strong and keep thinking of the positives 😎
Everyday just do what you can. It is always more than enough. Take care!
Take care of you mate and take the time u need for yourself 👍💪💪💪
Can we help James?please tell us, you have friends out here in this world!!!!
Wishing you well. I hope things get better for you very soon.
