Would you marry someone with Aspergers?

That would depend very much on the person and the degree of severity of the Aspergers. I've babysat kids with Aspergers before, and they were on different places on the spectrum. One was very difficult to relate with, and the other had a much milder version of it and I grew to be very fond of him. It really depends.

I'm already married as well, so the question doesn't directly apply. If I wasn't, it would depend on how severe it was. I have Bipolar and other disorders myself. If the Aspergers wasn't to the point of having a negative affect on my mood swings, then sure.

I think love is love, if i were to fall for somebody with aspergers, why wouldn't i marry them?

I feel like I would have a difficult time with it, so I doubt I would marry someone with aspbergers.

No.
I have nothing against people with disorders and such but I do not feel I am emotionally, mentally or physically equipped to handle or be in a relationship with someone with ASpergers, nor do I feel they would benefit from a relationship with me as I have a rather recalcitrant attitude much of the time and no... it would just be a very bad mix.

I actually tend to be attracted to honesty and mild social awkwardness, so yes. Both my ex and current boyfriend are undiagnosed, but probable for high-functioning Asperger's. Then again, I'm diagnosed Asperger's since 3rd grade, so of course I'll have a bias. :p

I think complicated people, as long as they can function in society, are generally more interesting. Most Asperger's-diagnosed people I've met tend to be free thinkers and highly individualistic, and I respect that.

I dont think i could

I'm not getting married

Sure why not? I have my own issues to deal with. If they could put up with mine, it would be a-okay.

As long as I love them and am compatible with them.

If we were in love. I'm also an aspie so why would I discriminate against someone like myself (or anyone for that matter)?

Would you marry someone who isn't the same race as you?
(because that's how these threads are starting to sound. Yes I can do sarcasm.)

I love a couple of people who have Asperger's, so yeah, I don't see a reason not to.

Probably not.

If they loved me

I see this is an old post.. but still!! This kind of thing upsets me!!! Asperger’s Syndrome is just another label that society has put on a group of people that has been widely accepted.

Beginning of my rant…. I have read some brain science books and find them to be fascinating. There are 7 parts of the brain that deal with different areas of thinking. Some people claim 8, one being nature but I don’t agree with that! Anyway, everyone loops through these 7 types of thinking/intelligences . What makes *YOU* special is the order that you loop through these 7 parts; your first two being dominate and making you who you are. Ever feel like you just click or connect with someone and can’t explain it? Well, your brains probably loop through the 7 very similarly. The seven are as follows….

1. INTRAPERSONAL thinking. Deep thinkers, they need to be quiet to build memory and use their brain. They don’t work well in groups or group discussions.
2. INTERPERSONAL thinking. Chatty people, think and build memory by talking and socializing, like bouncing lots of ideas off people. Thoughts and memories can form while in the process of speaking!
3. LINGUISTIC thinking. Think and build memory through words, written and spoken. They need to ask a lot of questions and repeat things over and over and over (until you wanna scream at them!). These people usually speak more than one language and/or have extended vocabulary.
4. LOGICAL/MATHEMATICAL thinking. Reasoning, and build memory through analyzing. These people love numbers and will calculate prices per ounce or each in the store very quickly and enjoy it.
5. KINESTHECTIC thinking. Thinking and memory is built through movement, sounds and touching. These people tend not to be able to sit still and if you show them something they immediately want/need to touch it.
6. MUSICAL thinking. Memory is built through rhythm, melodies and intuition. These people will always have music on, singing, humming, writing music, tapping their foot, whistling, and will mostly likely write music and play one or more instruments.
7. VISUAL/SPATIAL thinking. Thinking in images and pictures and even abstracts. Have to visualize and build memory through imagining things in detail, will often ask for specific details. These people are usually designers, architects, artists and/or some type of building or creating from nothing.

I, myself, am first interpersonal and second kinesthetic. That means that the school labeled me as a “problem” for squirming around in my seat, humiliated me and because I’m interpersonal, social, I got the idea loud and clear that I was being shamed and sat still and was unable to learn well until I was high school and better able to deal with needing to move as I learned. Also, my linguistic thinking is low, which means TROUBLE grasping the English language. LOL Translation, bad spelling and trouble making proper sentences.

All ASPERGERS means is that the brain loops through interpersonal last or close to last. Society has labeled these intelligent people as social outcasts and find it proper to medicate them. My sister is labeled that way and she has “come out of her shell” so to speak. All they need is to be encouraged to socialize and may take them more time and require lengthy explanation in social matters.

Flip this around backwards… To all those that are cool socially, how fast can you pick up on a new language? My sister, Asperger, has learned and memorized quite a bit in a Mayan dialect in 10 days. If that was you or me with the Mayans (presuming you’re social and not a linguist), we would feel like the outcast!!! Or what if you’re standing in the store and you need to do the math to see what the better deal is?? If you’re standing there with a mathematical thinking Asperger, you may feel like the idiot as they run numbers quickly and you just blink and breathe. Or one of my favorite examples!! If you were in a certain tribal situation in Africa, music and dancing is EVERYTHING to them. It’s spiritual, emotional, communication, memorial, greetings, celebration... it’s everything!!! What if you can’t play music or dance, then *YOU* become the Asperger to them!!!!!

There is nothing wrong with people labeled ADD, ADHD or Asperger. We just don’t fit into what square box society has decided to put everyone into. Everyone on this planet has a special gift and should be seen for it.

As to your question… My husband is an Asperger (INTRAPERSONAL) and he drives me crazy!!! My sister is an Asperger (LINGUSTIC) and she drives me crazy!!! Hahaha Even better, I (INTERPERSONAL) drive them crazy!! You have to be compatible in all aspects of a relationship, but not label or put people down for a way of thinking.
End of rant….

Yes, actually I did, so

I probably wouldn't.I myself have problems with social interactions (although I've never been diagnosed with anything) and I would not want to double the risk of passing it to my children.

I would. I have family members diagnosed and it actually feels safer to deal with them then others just because I am so used to it.

My girlfriend has been diagnosed with aspergers but I don't see any of the signs. She says she grew out of it. Honestly, it's one of those things that is diagnosed way too much. I was nearly diagnosed with autism, but it was actually just being shy and not being able to speak the same language as everyone else.
