The 6 Vital Organs of Friendship

Maybe for the first time in your life. You thought this person was your one and only. Or they did — but then they changed their mind and broke up with you. The only thing that was on your mind is how to get them back. All you want is to find a way to get them back. Well, it is theoretically possible — but how many times has it happened to you?

Short answer: yes it is real – probably. Whilst there has been little scientific research conducted on the topic, the vast amount of anecdotal evidence is convincing that there is a common underlying condition.

A relationship with an Aspergers partner may take on more of the characteristics of a business partnership or arrangement. Although he genuinely loves his spouse, the Aspie does not know how to show this in a practical way sometimes. An Aspie is often attracted to someone who shares his interests or passions, and this can form a good basis for their relationship. An Aspie needs time alone. Often the best thing the NT partner can do is give her Aspie the freedom of a few hours alone while she visits friends or goes shopping.

An Aspie often has a particular interest or hobby. While this may border on obsessive, the NT partner would do well to show interest in it. It may even become something they can do together. She will need patience and perseverance as well as understanding that he functions on a different emotional level to her. Aspies do marry, and while NT partners can be frustrated by their lack of emotion and physical contact, their Aspergers spouses do bring strengths into the relationship.

If there is open communication, the NT partner can help her Aspie to improve in areas of weakness and encourage him in the things he is naturally good at.
