AS and relationships that work

This is a forum for those who are in a relationship where Asperger's Syndrome is either diagnosed or suspected (either in your partner or in yourself) and who are looking for ways to cope and overcome the difficulties that AS brings. This forum is for for people who are actively trying to improve their relationship, not just survive it. Please try to keep posts positive in nature. It's ok to explain things that haven't worked, but please do it in a way that assists others in their search for solutions and understanding, not to discourage or squash hopes.
