[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]op - many many many many (many more than know it) have 'elements' of asd. It's not a hard and fast 'line' that someone is suddenly a full blown 'autist' oftentimes. Many humans have to work on cognitive flexibility, perspective taking and executive function. Truly if you think about it; those are the tenets of much of couples therapy. So I would sort of take the autism out of it (it's so so so common now). what specific challenges are you experiencing? the fact that he is not defensive or overly emotional is huge.  [/quote]

Wrong.

Talk Theory and couples therapy does not work with nor for someone on the spectrum.

They need their neuropysch diagnoses and then targeted therapy with a psychologist who specializes in high functioning autism adults and their NT/AS “relationships.”

DBT is often prescribed and an excellent one year program for HFA individuals to learn better life habits and communication habits. It gets past the masking. Again, with the Dx and telling them ahead of time the patient is ASD, in need of special communications, steps and accountability.[/quote]
