[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 601301, member: 11791"] If he is an Aspie or somewhere on the spectrum... none of what he does or says will make any sense until you understand how people on the spectrum think and feel and react. They are WIRED differently. They experience life different from "the rest of the world". They sense things... either more intensely, or less intensely, than most. They are very literal, very black-and-while. Very "rules" oriented - but it's not the rules that "everybody" knows, because in real life, most rules are not obvious, not spoken/written/taught. You're just supposed to know... and people on the spectrum, don't. So they figure things out for themselves... and sometimes get it partly right, sometimes totally wrong. BUT... when the world doesn't operate according to the rules - as THEY know the rules to be - they fall apart. It's so much easier to deal with spectrum kids, when you know what you are dealing with from an early age. It's going to be a challenge for both of you to change the way you think and the rules you operate by and how you order your life... It can still be a really good life. In some ways, better after you know what you are dealing with, because spectrum kids actually are quite predictable... once you get to know them. [/QUOTE]
