Any comments? Any other Aspie's married to Aspie's out there? Be great to hear how you guys are getting on,,,

Nice to meet you! I'm pretty sure I'm married to an aspie (I'm also one). Our relationship is riddled with different communication problems.

By the way, congratulations on being so fit at an older age!

As above.
TBH I don't know how or why my wife puts up with me. I have been quite impossible to live with.
I seem to go into self-distruct mode every now and then and cause enormous problems for everyone around me. I only hope as time passes I will get to know myself better and be able to recognise what is going on before it "kicks off" again.
I have referred myself to the Maudsley Aspergers Adult Relationship Counselling service but have been warned it might well be a looonnngg wait. I can only pray that my wife will hang on.
I would also really, really like to be able to sleep,,,,
Thankfully my boss has been very understanding, off sick as I type.
