[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is in the spectrum and it was such a mistake to get married. How mother is so grateful he found someone to marry, and I really like my in-laws[/quote]

I am friendly acquaintances with a dad who is on the spectrum - he told me upon our first meeting but I would have guessed it on my own. He's a nice man and I can see him having good qualities as a husband and father. But, he's very difficult to be around. He picks up on very little social cues, or at least he doesn't know what to do with them when he does pick them up. He interrupts when others are talking and talks about unsavory things in the wrong environment for too long. His wife seems super nice and I always wonder if she feels social isolation because of it. [/quote]

It's interesting that you expect him to conform to your social norms but you can't change a little yourself.

It's easy to redirect a conversation with an aspie person because they won't take it personally (even if you mean it personally... but that is on you) and they have no problem being told straight forward..."im uncomfortable with this conversation can we talk about X".

I suspect they don't feel isolated because they have good friends and then acquaintances like you... doesn't everybody.

I find it easy to navigate, you seem bothered by it... were you isolated as a child... are you an ONLY?[/quote]

Actually, I do navigate it. And, he seeks me out almost exclusively in social situations because most people just turn away from him. I don't think I've ever seen him talk to others for more than a few minutes and I see him in a number of different settings. Good point about being more straightforward about telling him when the convo is becoming too gross or whatever. I should do that.

Nice to slip in the ad hominem attack at the end there. ONLY, in all caps. You might want to think it's just me but it isn't. Really.[/quote]

I didn't say you were the only one that is rude. If you live in a close in DC neighborhood or DC I suspect you are among many rude people. Being part of the majority is not always a good thing.

I find lawyers are harder to be around... but that is me. [/quote]
