Hi,
So, I've finally gotten around to posting here- never been much of a contributor to forums and such. Anyhow, I'm Amy, 42, and I was unofficially diagnosed with Aspergers a little over two years ago (I say unofficially because although this person is a mental health professional, she's not technically in a position to provide an official diagnosis).
At the moment I'm married with two great kids but my husband and I are in the process of getting a divorce so a lot will be changing soon. My husband I knows about the Aspergers and says he gets it but I get the feeling that he thinks that I'll just snap out of it someday, that if I just stop over thinking things then the spontaneity and level of emotional connection that he's looking for will somehow develop. He's read certain articles about the condition but only over the past few months- almost no effort over the past two years to educate himself.
I don't know- I've accepted the idea of divorce, recognized both our parts in this but still get these flashes of wanting to throw things. Still, trying to hope for the best. Guess that's all for now - thanks for listening!
