[quote=Anonymous]Hope someone sees my question and can answer.

If you have been in a long term marriage with someone with HFASD, I realize that labels weren't as ubiquitous or clear decades ago. There were only limited descriptors of autism,  codes,  therapy, symptoms. In fact, men who were in math and science,  engineering,  were completely lumped into a behavioral category of their own- completely accepted as normal- but not at all for women, interestingly enough. It's still that way somewhat. That, I believed helped define what autism could look like when we realized women presented neurodivergence differently.  Why? Women were not accepted in the same way as men.

So, if you, though, are married to a man who would be or is dxed with an ASD descriptor, what was his relationship with his parents? What kinds of things did they do for their son, or was it more of a codependency  where it was what it was and he was thought of  just as quirky? Was one of the parents also ASD?

How did it look going forward after your marriage with his parents?[/quote]
