I thought it was funny.
Seriously, she probably hammered out that article in 10 minutes, the one word doesn't have any major effect on the thrust of the article as a whole, which is good.
I liked the article. I think it could have benefitted from being longer, though - how many aspergians or their partners are going to be reading it and know so little while they do appreciate a partner is Asperger's. The article doesn't give enough information to point to the condition, IMO, and so those who may benefit won't connect it with their partners, or at least only a scant few may. The advice itself, while short, was good I think. Although this made me laugh:
Quote:
Unless the mate understands the nature of AS, it is easy to become angry, overwhelmed and even resentful of the partner who seems to be a good individual, yet not a traditional partner or lover.
I'm not sure how much understanding the nature of AS helps. I mean, it helps a little, but I'd still expect a bit of anger and overwhelmedness.
