Thank you for finding my blog article and for the rather long diversion I have had here reading some of your Aspergers experiences. I particularly love the statement from the “grandparents letter” about Aspergers as “normal with a difference”.
It is my mother specifically that has it (undiagnosed) and I am still getting my head around it. So what I have read here helps. Also reading about The Hub and how you feel about him and have loved the Aspergian qualities he has.
It is interesting that from what you wrote about The Hub that I can identify traits in my hubby, and yet can not identify anything from the Aspergers Profile. Not that I am trying to make my Mr Doris into the Aspergers picture, but he does have some wonderful qualities that are most extraordinary. He is so self-measured in his emotions and so under control that (I have just realised at this moment I have put into words something important for me that I need from him!) I wonder how he does it, but on the other hand, he is utterly thoughtful and makes the effort to say hello and goodbye and is affectionate and will sit and talk with me when I request it, but otherwise he is occupied 18 hours a day and so industrious on his special interests.
I come from a point of pain being a child of an Aspergers parent. Not because my mother had Aspergers but because of my mother’s vile behaviour back then, some of which may have been her way of operating because she has Aspergers. Not all adults with Aspergers end up operating like that (The Hub certainly didn’t by the sound of it) and I suppose it is just like any segment of the population and there will always be those who have certain negative behaviours. With intervention and support given to children with Aspergers I hope it can help them adjust to this scary enough world for us neuro-typicals and help them to find their way.

Interesting. Neither Joe and I are on the spectrum but we both have a little OCD traits and depression. Knowledge is power.
