[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH has some characteristics of HFA, but I knew and recognized those signs while we were dating. Poor eye contact if stressed, adherence to routine, depth of knowledge in subjects of interest, etc. Fast forward, and our son has an ASD Level 1 diagnosis. No surprise. I just don’t understand the wives who seem surprised to learn of DH’s autism. They must have been ignoring the signs because I’m 100% sure the signs were there. [/quote] First off the symptoms you listed overlap with a variety of things and let’s face it, most people born in the 1970s, 80s, and even 90s are not well versed in the DSM to be dating and suspecting a diagnosis. Plus everyone tries to be on their best behavior and have a simple life of college, grad school or work/eat. So unless you lived together a while or went through some trying times, no major symptom patterns would emerge. And if they did, did you know what aspergers was outside of the movies? [/quote]
