Hi danvers,

You mention ASD diagnosis. Do you mean Asperger's Syndrome?

If you don't mind my asking, how committed are you to your relationship with your girlfriend? I'll tell you now that it may be different from any other relationships you have had in the past.

Maybe she's scared? Just my feeling from reading your post and your explanation of her behaviour since you've been together. That as well as the use of the stimulants. <sigh>

You say she was only diagnosed 3 years ago, which probably means she's been dealing with a war zone most of her life (school, relationships, general day to day life) and not knowing how to deal with it all.

I would suggest reading some information that's available regarding Asperger's and women.

Here's one book...

from the book -
Girls and women who have Asperger’s syndrome
Safety Skills by Liane Holliday

Foreword by Prof. Tony Attwood for "Safety Skills for Asperger Women"

I hope it helps a little.
