[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone married to a spouse with Aspergers? How do you cope?[/quote]

He wants to be left alone and not spoken to. Now all of us do exactly that. That cut down on at least half of his shouting and lashing out.

He tags along on outings when he has the energy or it's convenient for him or someone is there he wants to impress or appear normal to. It's sickening how backwards his priorities are.

[b]He's insulting to live with, I am planning my exit. THe kids know their father is not normal, we have all mourned the lack of a father, husband, adult male in the house in our own way. What's worse is that he is around, just ignoring us and life. You must not sink to the same level and become an empty person just because he doesn't care about anything[/b]. [/quote]

This really resonated with me because this was my life. I'm sorry for you and the kids. I understand the feeling of mourning but maybe when you are ready,  know that there is a husband and father there,  not in the way you expected but someone there nonetheless. It's like a life lesson on accepting differences and meeting people where they are. That's great for the kids to learn empathy. And totally agree with you on stepping up and not becoming empty. And sometimes stepping away is what you need to do.
