[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP who posted about the similar husband. OP, you asked if it gets better? I hoped a diagnosis and some counseling and coaching would help. But no, my DH has not improved with time or with awareness of his deficits. For him, HFA was fine until it wasn’t, and I think the only thing that would have helped was serious executive functioning and social skills work when he was a child. It’s too late for my DH. He has become worse and each year I take more responsibility off his plate because he can’t handle- cognitively or emotionally-  the increasing demands that growing children and married life create. He just doesn’t have the cognitive and executive functioning ability to handle it. It means our marriage is really unbalanced and I am tired, and he is embarrassed and angry. The situation feels very secret and private, so I don’t feel like I can talk to anyone but my best friends about it. DH basically shuts down after work is done for the day because he has zero ability left to deal with cognitive demand let alone multitasking. It’s hurt our couples friend relationships and me/my kids’ social life. The truth is that it won’t get better and the only fix for it, pre-COVID, was for me to have a ton of babysitters and help and to double down on my own social life.[/quote]

I think there are many, many adults who have HFA - some with better coping skills than others. I think a separate board on this topic would be very useful.  I don't see posters going into the SN kids forum and being persnickety about writing style, etc. [/quote]
