Broken: My relationship with an undiagnosed Asperger's partner
Broken My relationship with an undiagnosed Asperger's partner Author:Katy Ford I didn't write this book to destroy my ex I actually started to write it for myself as it felt cathartic to write everything down. My ex ASOH was not a bad man he did not mean to do the things he did but the lack of love and affection and the complete absence of emotional reciprocity nearly destroyed me. My ex did not know he had Asperger?s ... more »neither did I it was only after I had left him and he moved on straight away that I started to research why he had no feelings. How could you move on from a 13 year relationship without a backward glance? He had rejected me emotionally for almost 12 of the 13 years I was with him and now he had delivered the final rejection, he had moved on without a care. I came across so many differing personality types none of which fit him until I came across Asperger?s or High Functioning Autism as it is now known. AS fit him like a glove, the lack of warmth, affection, conversation and poor social interactions he was classic AS. I hope by reading this book that it might save just one of you lonely Neuro Typical (normal) partners from the painful situation I found myself in. Don?t read this book if you don?t want read swearing or you want to salvage your relationship this book is not about making an AS/NT relationship work it?s about the damage done to the NT spouse. If it offends you tough it?s true totally true I have a right to give the story my point of view and not from a totally empathy free AS point of view.« less
