[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Adult sibling doing well by many accounts (job, family) but maintains NO relationships outside of his domineering wife, three young kids, and my parents (reluctantly — through work circumstances he needs to see them every day).   He thinks He is doing great but has always been a little off, I don’t know.   Anyway our relationship had totally halted because he is unresponsive.   His wife is very reluctantly responsive to me and my DH.   My parents tell me that his coworker (a childhood friend) confided in them that my brother seeks out absolutely nobody for social or even conversational stuff.  His wife likes to denigrate him and is very short with him.   He is always super tightly wound.     I feel bad for him but I suspect there’s nothing to do to try to get him help to address whatever mental state he’s in?  His wife seems to have selected him as a partner so that she could be in charge and at the same time complain about how he sucks at stuff, which makes me sad.  [/quote]

If he does have ASD he is likely dropping the ball constantly at home and with raising/parenting young kids. His wife likely feels very lonely and even scared for the health and safety of the kids.

oP- everything you may read about neurotypical spouse with aspergers spouse is quite accurate. It’s it’s own internal hell. [/quote]
