Good day! I'm a 43 year old mother (of a 2 year old daughter) who separated from her spouse a little over a month ago. Next Monday we would have been married 3 years. This is our first marriage. He has been out of work for 21 months while I still have my job as a teacher.

I'm here because my husband shows many characteristics of asp. and ADD. My best friend's husband is an aspie (brain scan confirmed and all) and has pretty much told me my husband has asp. Our daughter's speech teacher, who has asp., mentioned out of the blue one day, "I think your husband has aspergers." While my husband will declare his ADD (yet never seek help for it) he scoffs me when I mentioned asp.

His behaviors have caused a major strain in our marriage. I won't mention that I have bipolar 2 with a strong emphasis in depression. We are like oil and water, gas and fire, you name it. I have been on medication for many years and am presently going through a medication change. He has never seen a therapist, psychiatrist, etc...

That's my introduction!
