Neoprimitive...thankyou for the welcome of sticking around. I"d love to. Seeing men talk amongst eachother always makes me smile. I see how vulnerable they really feel, and, it's sweet.
My husband now, has ausbergers...very mildly, but has it. A high functioning form of autism...but it comes w it's challenges that are maddening at times. I have learned, through alot of growing pains, to always realize what he does, is part of his situation. And that the things he does for me, such as getting me things that I would never wear, etc...are coming from his heart, and he did it because he wants to make me happy and he loves me. Ever since I came to this place, my marriage got alot better, and I became alot happier.
He never told me he had ausberger's, I figured it out. I was watching a show on tv, and a girl had it...and she literally had the same posture as my husband does, and did the things he does etc. He has an extremely high IQ, 171. Can you imagine? You usually only meet ppl w that high of an IQ in mental institutions. I'm being serious....
When I told him you have ausberger's, he was like "How did you know that??" I told him when he was in Iraq, and we were talking IM...he was very upset that I knew...and he's extremely sensitive about it. I can talk about w him, but I am not to ever mention it to other people. I was like "It doesn't matter, I don't care. I have always known something is different"...he works very hard to emulate "normal" people.
Ppl w this condition always seems to get some type of "gift", be it very talented at drawing, etc. His gift happens to be the weather. He just loves everything about it...and his ability to predict it, is off the charts, and he's never gone to school for metiorology (sp?)....he is almost always right. He went on a weather site, that is run by a guy the guy who was our local weather guy, in the Philadelphia area....of course, this guy noticed him. My husband is better at weather forecasts than him lol...and the guy doesn't mind. He's already a millionare. My husband is like an icon in the weather community...I am really happy for him. To have found somewhere he is recognized, appreciated and can talk to others that love what he does...Guys, I have to tell you, it drove me crazy to listen to him tell me about the weather for hours...omg. My eyes would glaze over, I'd start to fall asleep...one time, my head fell back w my mouth open after listening for about forty minutes lol.
So...you can accept others....or not. You can be mean, and miss out on knowing someone incredible. Maybe my husband has alot of maddening things I have to deal with...but he loves me deeply. To me, after all I have been through, that's awesome. We have a really good relationship. Now we need to get some cilais or viagra!!
Be you...anyone worth knowing will be o.k. w it.
