Parenting with a Spouse or Partner with
Asperger Syndrome: Out of Mind, Out of Sight.
Kathy J.Marshack, Ph.D.
Dr. Marshack’s upcoming book on “Parenting with a Spouse or Partner with Asperger Syndrome: Out of Mind, Out of Sight” addresses the unique issues that come up when you’re co-parenting with an Aspie partner. When you live with Aspies it’s the ordinary things of life that cease to function properly – like getting enough sleep, or asking your spouse to pick up a child from soccer practice, or having a little family chit chat at the dining table. Everyone else in the world takes these ordinary things for granted. They don’t give them a second thought because they just flow.
But when co-parenting with an Aspie these ordinary things become strained and turn into not-so-ordinary moments. It feels as if you are Alice attending tea with the Mad Hatter and the sleeping Door Mouse. Nothing makes sense. Nothing you say or do works. Everything is so unnerving and tense over the simplest of things, leaving you too drained to engage more fully in life.
If you’re parenting with an AS partner, Dr. Marshack believes you should learn all you can about Asperger Syndrome because information clears up the mystery of the Aspie behavior. This will help you detach from the emotional distress of reacting to those not-so-ordinary moments.
Please download a free sample chapter from Dr. Marshack’s upcoming book and take a look at one family and their not-so-ordinary moments. We will contact you when Dr. Marshack’s book is available for purchase.
