Hello people. I'm glad to have found you. I have been married for ten years and the probability - certainty - of an Aspergers diagnosis for my husband has just reared its head. He scored 34 on the AQ test, and it was obvious to me that something was seriously wrong for a long time. Not sure where to go from here. He most likely won't pursue an official diagnosis, and I'm exhausted from being the motivating force on every level. I have my own (physical) health problems. He is still functioning seemingly well at work, and he has a high-level job. On every other level he's not doing well at all. He works at home and I spend my time reminding him of things over and over, trying to get his attention because he fades in and out, and double checking everything he does. Not sure how much more of this I can take, actually. We have no friends or family and are almost literally hermits. I'm finding it very hard to say these things so I'll stop for now.

Greetings and welcome to the Wrong Planet. The situation you’re in sounds draining and frustrating, you have my sympathy. You have come to the right place if you need support or advice and the Haven is a good place to vent. Best wishes to you.

Thank you, Hyksos. This is all very upsetting, but I'm determined to deal with it in the best way I can.
