[QUOTE="SuzyfromTexas, post: 11981, member: 3338"] David's Mom, First off, I didn't take your post to mean that you think all autistics are idiots. You are just venting and I understand that. You know, I have some issues with my husband as well. I'm not saying he is autistic but I can point to a few behaviors that could be suspect. I'd also like to say that he is an extremely technical, very successful man in upper management (works with well with people) at a well known airline. I'm not saying any of this to brag but to let others know that people with autistic-like characteristics can accomplish tremendous things. (Nothing new to most people on this board.) He has never been tested but thinks he could be Aspergers after looking over all the forms we filled out for my son. My son, while not diagnosed with anything formally, has some characteristics of NonVerbal Learning Disorder (NVLD). Also, I'm glad to know that people with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are not characteristically selfish or manipulative. I will say that my son does lie and can be very challenging at times. My husband was a challenge to his parents during his teen years. I would suggest taking some time off and getting away if at all possible. Please do not give up hope and I think just posting this stuff helps us get it out....Good luck. [/QUOTE]
