    Ummm if you suspect you have an illness you go to a doctor.You Don't self diagnose cancer so why with something as complicated as ASD.

    Easy tell him you are in pain with him 'ignoring' you.we need verbal instructions.Its probable that he is overwelmed with the family issues and has not thought about how it's affecting you.We are very loyal but we have to process relationships logically it's not instinctive to us.does not mean...

    High pain tolerance

    I agree mental preparation makes a big difference.I hope you and your babies are well and understand because my wife went through the same thing it's very frightening and out of your control.Id have taken her pain in a heartbeat if I could have done.
