[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 215569, member: 3907"] Canthandleitanymore, As Everywoman said, we can't diagnose. I'm not a doctor by any means, but I do have a diagnosis of mild Aspergers, which I received as an adult. I was relieved to finally have a label to attach to things I'd wondered about all my life, but didn't fully understand. It's entirely possible that your boyfriend does fall somewhere on the autism spectrum. That being said, if you choose to broach this subject with him at all, I would tread very very carefully. I don't know that it's a path you want to go down at all. If your boyfriend is questioning himself, noticing characteristics and wondering what's "wrong" with him, then it might be a safe topic to pursue. If he's not, then he's not likely to hear, acknowledge or agree with anything you have to say on the subject, and you may be opening yourself up to a world of hurt if you try to raise this sort of thing to someone who doesn't want to know. I don't really know what to tell you...I would just be careful. Trinity [/QUOTE]
