After reading a couple other posts i finally got the nerve to ask ( i really need some sensative posts here, please)... does anyone ever think that their spouse may have some mild learning disability or aspergers? after dealing with my 5 year old son and learning all the little signs (he has aspergers) i see a lot of them mirrored in my husbands actions. (no, he doesn't watch barney 20 times in a row or anything like that, so no stupid replies please!) it isn't bad enough that i would say he's handicapped in any way, but just different. socially he's a little off and sometimes i feel like he doesn't really understand or care when i'm talking to him. he says i talk to fast. it's embarassing to admit that i married someone who may be a little slower than me, but he is a good dad and has a great job and loves me a lot. i've had a few friends comment on the intelligence difference (which is emphasized by the fact that i'm much younger than him) i dont know how to handle it. and if anyone is wondering how you marry someone with something like this without knowing, obviously they've never met an Aspergers child... it's really hard to tell sometimes unless you know what you're looking for. ↓
