Is there a forum that is specifically for NT people that have partners with AS? Either on this site or another. Thanks.

I know of one, but it's absolutely terrible: a forum called "AS Partners." It's basically a bunch of angry wives bitching about how horrible their autistic-spectrum husbands are, and every self-respecting autistic and autistic-respecting NT I know of hates it. I'm not linking it here.

I do know of a couple other forums focused on NT/AS relationships that have strong Aspie and NT presences and a balanced focus:

AS And Their Partners (balanced focus but many people go there to voice problems, run by an Aspie married to an NT):

AS And Relationships that Work (more of a positive focus - kind of like the opposite of AS Partners, run by an NT happily paired with an Aspie):
