You may think you're the first person to "read an article by an expert" and come here convinced that something or someone "fits it to a T", and that it must mean something.

You're not.

Did u read the article?? I’m just asking if by reading that attached article does it seem like she may be spd??? Sheesh I’m gettin the feeling no one read the link and are going solely by my first statement in hindsight I over emphasized the not as often sex,which is by far not the real issue

How does that even make any sense?

I don't really think there's much insight we can give you on this that will be useful to you.

Given that you're obviously committed to the relationship with her but concerned, can I recommend trying some form of couples' therapy? Taking your concerns about the changes in the relationship to an actual professional would almost certainly be a better way of working through them than trying to diagnose anything. Generally I'd say take your concerns to her first, but from the arguments you describe it sounds like that aspect has broken down a bit.

I have also heard similar stories from Autistic couples. As already stated, the best thing you can do is seek couples therapy and perhaps that may lead to other treatment. We can't diagnose here and it's even more difficult with secondhand knowledge.

Guy walks into the SPD forum after having read one article on SPD, then asks the SPD crowd if they have read the article on SPD. No. We have no information about the disorder at all. We just hang around this specific forum arbitrarily. Thank you for enlightening us.

Come on, man.

I should mention that your schizoid 'expert' has not published any peer-reviewed literature, and does not write in an academic style. Ergo, he's not an expert.

Maybe she's just not that into you. Doesn't mean that she has a psychological disorder. Or maybe your expectations for physical intimacy are out of the norm.

Not at all I did a bunch of reading and I really think I started this post wrong as I’m in another spd and and posted a lil different not emphasing so much on the sex and actually had the link not in link form just copy and pasted with a few other things about our relationship and pretty much overwhelmingly the females think it’s very possible and some quite sure who are goin through a very similar situation even the moderate seems pretty sure and giving info that if I really want to continue with this gal things I should do differently

Those articles were culled from schizoids.info. The site is no longer up but it was a bit flaky at best. It had an annoying new age slant to it. Kind of reminded me of the OP's post, but with punctuation.

Oh, it's on.
