We were happier in the UK
Hello, I posted a question on the spouse forum but wanted to introduce myself. I am American and my husband is British.
We met online on an Asperger dating site, and I visited him a couple of times at his flat that he had in the UK. We ended up getting engaged and we were married here in the USA, like a year and a half ago.
I've been happy to have my husband here in the USA with me but he really needs more support and help. There aren't services for autistic adults in the US, so I'm starting to think we both would be better off moving back to the UK. We used to attend various groups there, and felt more included in the community.
I'm wondering what is the best way to proceed with moving back, as we don't have a lot of information yet. There's no help with services without probably hiring a lawyer, but we're still trying to figure out what is the best way to proceed. Any advice or information would be really appreciated.
