Asperger's Disorder, and My Husband

When you meet my husband, you may feel like you are meeting a normal, however eccentric, person. If you spend any time at our home, however, your view can quickly change. To those who come into our home, there are some things that they may never understand. These things vary from the handling of chores to the way things function here. Living and being in this house is like walking into another realm.

As a child my husband was diagnosed with severe ADHD. New research has provided him and I with a better explaination, however. Asperger's disorder, a form of high functioning autism, seems alot like ADHD. The differences, however subtle at times, are somewhat difficult to exist with. As time moves on, it has become apparent that ADHD is not the right diagnosis, and thus, Asperger's was looked into. Now at this point in time, it is a working diagnosis, but the symptoms are nearly unmistakeable. Dealing with them is like moving mountains some days, but the rewards are also mind blowing.

Over the course of this blog I will share the pitfalls and mountain tops that I experience, in the hopes of bringing someone closer to understanding.
