[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He just doesn't get social cues, phone etiquette, body language and he challenges anything he believes to be inaccurate, no matter how trivial. This affects our marriage, his job and his relationships. How can I help him? He hasn't been given a legitimate diagnosis but it is extremely obvious.[b] He's a good guy but I'm having a hard time accepting these quirks now that kids are in the picture. Help![/quote][/b]

You need to address the specific issue that's bothering you but that begs the question, does your DH want "help" and want to change?  If he truly has Asperger's, it's doubtful he wants to change.

At some point, you have to decide to accept the person you married as they are... Or get a divorce and find someone who is a better fit.

I say this kindly as someone married to a person with Asperger's for 25+ yrs and with a child and many relatives on the spectrum.  ASD is a neurodevelopmental disorder and not something that can be changed at will.  You either accept them as they are or not.

I second the Tony Attwood book recommended by the pp.[/quote]
