Just like the aspects of aspies vs aspects of NT's we lack some and gain some.
I would say for me as an aspie that I think NT/AS or AS/AS could be a burden because I know two ex girlfriends that have said that I'm some sort of an burden to them. All of those two were Aspies
Thats probably because their aspies, they spoke their mind...
Any relationship is a burden, its a matter of whether the benifits make it worth it...
And no two people, NT or AS  are alike so these difficulties pop up in couples that are NT/NT or AS/AS as well.
The answer your looking for is NO,
You will not be percieved as being any more of a burden than any nt
Aparently...
Through my own relationships it does seem as though AS is a burden to the other partner... as sad as it is to say Sad because my first boyfriend just kept saying that I wasn't allowed to use the AS as an excuse for anything because there are meds to control and cure it and there were many times where I felt like i was being snapped at and critisized and all that by him for things I know I can't help and were the AS.

My second and I have split after a week, but he still lets me talk with him bout stress and stuff but even he tells me that "Do be honest I don't think you're ready for another relationship with anyone" and yet I was and am still only myself.

I believe there will always be problems in relationships as long as at least one person in the relationship is an Aspie but that don't mean its a burden.  I think as long as the 2 people no matter who they are can make any relationship work as long as they try their best to understand the other.
