| I must say that in all honesty, nothing you said makes him sound like he has Aspergers (I'm not a professional though, and you didn't give a lot of information). (Though, some of the things you described are the very opposite of traits of aspergers...) Everything you said, however, makes him sound v... |

| hey, thank you so much shivanataraja, for your genuine response...and yes, I think telling him could be helpful, but I don't want him to think that I think there are all these things wrong with him, when maybe there is nothing! I mean, he has no body language, eye contact problems...and can TOTALLY ... |

| Thank you so much Howling Wolf! I had decided not to reply back to that response because I thought it wouldn't get me any where but explaining what I already know...I would just be defending myself and not actually getting anywhere.... But yes, you are truly right and that's exactly what I would hav... |

| furthermore, I would never make a diagnosis...I am simply gathering some information and taking simple steps. if it seems likely that he "could" have it, we would together find several people to go to who could make a diagnosis. (ps thanks theface for the information...unfortunately you are right an... |

| hi, i appreciate your response, but it's not because we can no longer communicate...it's because he never could...with anyone. Since I have known him I have felt there was something wrong, but I kept making excuses for him because I loved so much about him...I am now in love with him and the pieces ... |

| I'm a little weary to do that until I have more evidence...i mean, what if i'm just the crazy one and then i've put all this pressure on him? telling him something like that will create major distress within him, so i'd rather wait till I have a little more to go off of. Plus, we just had this big d... |

He has currently decided to get therapy since his habit of... |

| hey, sorry...I didn't think it would bother anyone to post in several different forums...I just don't know which one to put it in, nor do I know who might respond. I put it in three others that I thought were different enough yet still relevant, so maybe out of it, I would get at least one response.... |

The thing is, I almost think my boyfriend (who is 30 years old just in case that might matter...) may have some very mild form of it. I have read all the diagnostic criteria,... |
