After seeing the second episode of ANTM, my husband finally decided to look at my class materials from an Autism/Aspergers class I am taking.
He realized immediately that the description of Aspergers fit him to a T.
He has been ignoring me all this time, despite all the things online, in books, from our son's therapists...I don't think he ever would have bothered to take it seriously if he hadn't seen Heather on t.v.
I think the part where she was just staring into space during a makeup session really hit home for him, because he does that all the time.
So I just wanted to say thanks to Heather for putting herself out there, for being a great face for Aspergers, and spreading awareness for all of us.
I feel so much better knowing that he we can both accept this together now, that we are on the same page. I can focus on moving ahead for our child and for ourselves.
