[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My sister is married to someone who has never been diagnosed but clearly has hfa. However it was clear from day 1 of dating that there was something different and that social situations were challenging for him. He had always felt really different but didn't know why. After reading over info on hfa, it was a huge relief to him that there was an explanation. They didn't move forward with a diagnosis since he has a life that works for him. So in his case, he didn't know but my sister did! [/quote] +1. Similar situation. I married to my DH not realizing he has HfA because I did not fully understand what HFA was. I did not realize that autism is a spectrum. He had always felt different but he did not know why. He has a job, can talk to others, attend social events, and can go casual/deep interactive conservations. The only thing I can point out is that he was a bit different than other guys when I dated him, but I did not know that he had HFA. I find out that DH probably has HFA after we had a HFA kid. My kid is smart, high functioning, just a bit quirky/ social delay and talking too much. Teachers do not see common autism traits in him.[/quote] +1 wow, I cpuld have written the very same post[/quote] +3 This is a common situation, mostly because being diagnosed as HFA/ASD is fairly recent - if you are under a certain age, you find that hard to realize.
