Understand a Man; Deal With a Woman

I follow the Chat for Adults with HFA and Asperger's.

A few times now I have noticed articles that explain to women how they can understand and support their Aspie husband.

Just yesterday they posted the link on their Facebook page for the article on Understanding Your Aspergers Partner. I was hoping a similar article would be posted for men so they could understand their Aspie women.

Well low and behold, today they did just that: How to Deal with an Aspergers Woman.

Deal? How to 'deal' with an Asperger's Woman? No understanding, just "here's how to put up with her."

I'm sure that wasn't the intent, but that choice of words rubbed me the wrong way. I'd rather be understood than dealt with.
