Help For Your Asperger/Neurodiverse Marriage

Lonely and confused in your marriage to someone with Asperger's? I'd love to help!
I was there for 20 years and I want to help you feel heard and understood. Two solutions I talk about in this video are coaching calls with me and books I read that helped me survive my worst moments.

I've compiled a list of amazing books on Asperger's Syndrome

Hi Marcie! I think it is wonderful you can be a support for other spouses going through something similar. I always try to take something from your videos and apply it to my own life. I like how you didn’t want to just pour out all the negative details and hardships you went through while married. My younger self would have spent time expressing my bitterness to people. This was a good reminder to me to not dwell on past difficulties. To me, not speaking ill of him in this forum is a gift to your children.

From my Family to yours, I wish you all the best. My Great Nephew is Autistic and he spends a lot of time with us. He is nearly 13 years old and I believe what keeps him comfortable within our Family is just simplicity. You are who you are and no judgment🙏

Thank you for opening up about something so important.

I’ve watched a channel for a while now. It’s autism our daily view, and it is a great channel. I wish you all the best.
For me, I find it so difficult to comprehend your husband would make it through medical school. Not that he couldn’t with his intellect (that part of it), but that the school(s) thought he could be handed off once graduated and “be okay”….

I still say, this is like a movie in the making. I watched “a beautiful mind” long ago. Not that it’s a comparison. I have a disconnect with how it all came to be. Nothing to do with you! I only comment because you share and I find it fascinating, your story.
No doubt you will be fine.
That’s not the point, for me. You shouldn’t have to be fine. I think this shouldn’t have ever gotten this far in the educational process of producing a physician that any of us could have ever been assigned to. Im going to leave it at that.
Not being negative toward you. I admire how far you’ve come.

You are an incredible woman and an amazing mother. Your children are so fortunate and we are fortunate to have you, too.

[EmeryShae]

This is really kind of you, Marcie. I’m sure it’s a painful part of your life to rehash.

I do have one question, which you can pass by if you don’t want to answer. When you think back to when you were first dating your husband, did you notice that he had some struggles with connecting emotionally?

[amerikrainiantribe]

I think it’s really great that you worked so hard to understand your husband’s diagnoses and tried to get him the help you all needed to make the relationships work in a healthy way. As a female/wife/mother on the spectrum I have always tried to understand where my blind spots and challenges were in communication and relationships and improve in those areas if at all possible. It’s so sad that your husband wasn’t able or willing to take advantage of those resources you were able to find for him for the sake of his family. I’m sure you would be a good resource for any family struggling in their relationships with a member on the autism spectrum or with mental health issues.

Marcie you are a wonderful resource for anyone with similar challenges that you faced. Wishing you all the best for sharing your story to help others. ❤️🙏🏻Val C

[moiraaustin]

Marcie you are a very special, caring and considerate person. Thank you for reaching out to help people who are experiencing what you experienced 🙏🏻❤️

My oldest grandson is asperger. He also has other things. Often wonder how his relationships work. He is 24 years old.

I’m sure having ten children would put a lot of stress and strain on a marriage. We have six and I think if we had another it would be a tipping point in our marriage. Days can be very stressful and it’s easy to blame each other for not pitching in. I can’t imagine adding Med school to the mix. My husband works a very simple job which was intentional choice early on because I knew I wouldn’t be able to cope if he was away from home longer than eight hours. We barely get time to ourselves as a couple, but one day we will. It’s not easy.
You seem like an amazing mother and seems like you’ve had to raise your children single handedly for years and years.
I do wonder if the children do or will ever get a chance to visit their father? It could be healing for both sides…

Your ex should be eligible for SSI/SSDI and be able to pay some child support from that. Please consult an attorney.

[susannahpeters]

May l ask why you had to have a divorce? If your husband is sick and in the hospital anyway?

[renata-sb]

I have learnt that Autism spectrum, Asperger"s are in early age diagnosed. Fidn't you know about your husbands illness before marriage? Sorry if I ask sth that hurts you. Just an important question to me 😊

I would love to see a video of how your children have dealt with this over the years. It cannot be easy dealing with not having a father when other children talk about their fathers especially. But it must be harder for them to be in the home and to deal with the emotional issues surrounding asperger's. I pray that they have plenty of male figures in the church that can step up and help out.
