It is wonderful that your OH is a genius in IT and art but the OP is struggling and needs support. Just because you are married/in a relationship with someone with aspergers and they are able to function at a level which enables them to do that doesn't mean every other person with aspergers can.skintandscared wrote: »Then again, they may (like my OH) have gifted skills that make them exceptional in certain fields. His genius is in IT and art. I thought the "disability" benefits (PIP?) now focused on what people CAN do, not what they can't.
