I also noted that this was a few years ago, maybe Attwood has decided not to have two stories about what AS people are like, one for the Aspies, "You guys are great!" and one for the wives, "Oh, my, they can really be AWFUL, it's true."

That reminds me of Hawthorne in "Sherman's Lagoon":

Atwood is very good but why doesn't he admit that he has AS too? That's the only little thing that bothers me.
He implies it but won't suggest it.

Maybe he's afraid that people will believe that his views are biased because he has AS?

Good point actually.

I agree to both points, but I guess not for us to decide. But it would be great if someone as well know as him was on the autism spectrum and spoke out for us all.

I feel there are a lot of professionas on the autism spectrum who choose not to speak out...

[quote="autism_diva].

These women do the asking, most of the time, they pick the guy out, ask him to marry her and then assume the martyr's stance from then on. I've seen it. [/quote]

I didn't mean to imply spouses of spectrum people are never hurt by spectrum people, it's just that there is a noisy group of women who seem like sociopaths to me. They marry a guy and then blame him for every single problem they have. Like I said, it's very convenient.

I know the type, or type of posts actually, and it's not limited to ASD's, or women. Glad you brought it up so I feel I wasn't far off, I never was certain how to respond to them, as most of the time their methods appeared to work in getting attention, without anyone questioning them.

Don't know about Attwood, perhaps he's just trying to catch them with honey rather then vinegar, as that is what they seek. Alienating these types is not going to help their aspie husbands (or wives), but once he's got their devotion it might give him more opportunities to make a difference.
