Just wanted to introduce myself....so hi! I am seeking support and advice from where ever I can find it. We have been married 6 years, and for the last year or so my son has been showing signs of being on the spectrum. While trying to research for him, I ran into Aspergers, and suddenly the issues I had with my hubby made sense. He took an online assessment and scored quite high, but he wants nothing to do with getting a professional diagnosis, or anytging else. I think he lost another job this weekend, and all he cares about is music. He is an AMAZING musician, and a captivating performer. Unfortunetly, music doesn't make him much money, and I carry the weight of running the house largely to myself. Anyway, here I am. See u all around here!

Hi,
Im a recently diagnosed married aspie myself, and my NT wife has the same issues with me playing music, when she has to take care of the kids, bills, etc. If he is anything like me, he cant help it too much, and im sure he is doing his best given the circumstances...Love and patience!
