| Do you have tips? My spouse is high-functioning enough, or I just find it "normal", that I never notice problems until they're already problematic. We have communication issues, where from my SO's perspective I've been told multiple times what they want/think. But I haven't picked up on it at all. A... |

| Thanks for the answers so far. I think he'll say "no". His actual diagnosis was more than 5 years ago. The supportive services I mentioned were just somebody coming by and checking up on him weekly. He doesn't think that would have been a psychologist or anything. And I can't figure out any way to p... |

Huh? AS is actually about to be removed. It has it's own insurance code.
I don't know if you will get penalized on future coverage or not. The health insurance form I'm filling out right now does ask if you've been diagnosed with autism. (See my post on this forum.) |

| My friend just moved here from another country where he had some supportive living help because he was in school and it fell under "school services". They don't use the DSM there, so he isn't coded under that, but under whatever they use in Europe. I think HFA is the official diagnosis. Anyway, he n... |

| Looks like you both have major stressful events that just happened to you. Either could lead to short-term depression, etc. So don't downplay the seriousness of things here. That said, the important thing is how you handle it now. How have you best communicated in the past? Use that and some direct ... |

What do you wish you had known? (Besides that you were an aspie!) What advice would you give to others?
(It seemed like a good idea to ask this in parallel with the other thread I started.) |

| There. That question should avoid reasons like "tax breaks". How do you know that you are *really* ready? Please stay on topic: Please don't answer "I don't think I'll ever get married" or "never because I'll never meet someone, I'm so lonely". There are plenty of other threads where you can discuss... |

| This guy asked for a love story, not tales of woe or stalking. Stalking would be something more akin to what I did in middle school. It took college for me to figure out how dating was supposed to work. Fast forward. I'm formally diagnosed with ADD. I decided that my exes all had aspie traits to the... |
