Episode 1: Welcome to Love, Honor, and Asperger's
Welcome to the Love, Honor, and Aspergers Podcast. Today, host April Anderson is joined by long time friend, Louise, who is another lucky person to have entered into an Aspergers marriage.April and Louise discuss their personal experiences with their partners, and the red flags and challenges of being in an Aspergers or narcissistic marriage.
April met Louise on an internet forum many years ago after becoming so fed up and discouraged that no one in her life seemed to understand what she was going through in her marriage. She was told it was normal, that all husbands are like that, despite her knowing something was wrong. After meeting Louise, she couldn’t believe there were other people out there experiencing the same things she was.
One thing both women learned early on in the forums is how exhausted women were. It's stressful and taxing to have to explain every single thing to your partner, and constantly watch what they're doing. Marriage to someone with Aspergers is difficult due to dealing with a lack of communication and empathy that neurotypical partners were never trained to handle.
