Catherine and Neil were pen pals for a few years before they moved in together.

 



Catherine: We were pen pals [laughs]. We wrote to each other for what was it, about a year?
Neil: Hm.
Catherine: Before we got together. And I mean Neil’s got a lot of problems as well. At the time, undiagnosed. But, you know, we kind of related to each other, because we had a lot of similar problems. And his brother has got Asperger's. So he knew. Although when we first started writing we didn’t know I had it. But now, you know, he kind of knows a lot about how to deal with it and stuff.   But yes, we met up. I came up here to visit, because I am from [county] originally. Came up to [town] and yes, we just got together basically from writing to each other and, yes, we have been together, for what, four years?
Neil: About four years.
