I have spent some time reading other threads and the motherly side of me wants to reach into the computer and give those poor mis-guided young people a hug ( or a smack upside the head if that would help). But they won't listen to us old geezers, anyway. (No offense! I don't think any of us are old geezers.)
why not just say what you think and be gentle, i think it's a lot of help for young people to be understood by those who have lived the same (or a variation of it) and have found a personal way to solve things
i had a terrible youth, and whenever i can encourage one of the young people of whom i recognise my own seeking of 20 years ago i do it.
whether they appreciate it, don't know, i don't always seek to get appreciated.
maybe a clear non-emotional view can be enlightning for some, i would have been delighted if some of my issues would have been put in a clearer light.
(3 times light ! have i won a candle now?)
but just going on a search for the sake of helping people is no good either,
it's almost like begging for attention (by which i don't mean that is what you doing, i'm reflecting on possible behaviours)
only if a subject really touches, one is able to keep it a little interesting i suppose
hm i feel a little boring all of a sudden
sometimes the subjects are more interesting than other times,
if i had more time, i'd take a look in the 'writing' section
I am more of an observer than a talker. I try to keep my opinion to myself most of the time. I remember that when I was in my early 20' s I may not have appreciated having an older person's point of view. So, I keep quiet. I would never smack anyone in the head. It is just a saying in Canada. I tend to vomit when I see acts of physical of violence so I can't hi t anyone or any animal.
If I was in the room and we were all having a physical conversation, I would be the one sitting drinking my tea, listening to the conversation and not saying much unless I have an important thing to say. I would be the one getting drinks for everyone else so that you could enjoy yourselves. Please don't tell me that my personality doesn't fit in here or the NT world?!

and later we'd probably be doing the dishes in the back of the kitchen together

Serious,
You're marriage sounds like it is strong enough to withstand more than most. I know how a serious illness can affect a family so feel free to pm me if need be.

hm, wonder what she looks like 
I'm trying to picture her in my head....Hmmmmmm......... Well, I know she has a sense of humor (she finds me attractive).
And she wears fishbowl glasses (can't see well - she's attracted to me). She carries a club (has to be able to get my attention to let me know she's interested). Other than that, the picture is hazy.

No, Blessedmom, I'm sure your DH is blessed as well. That is exactly what he does need.
I wish mine would talk more. Maybe I need a wife?

I always said I needed one. Instead I got myself a bossy, controlling, nagging husband. LOL

I did however ask my dh if I needed to hit him with a big stick to get him to know I was in love with him. He said, "What?" so I got a stick (my sons' stick) out of the trunk of my car and told him to kiss me. 
It was most unusual behaviour for me, but from the sounds of your rules you are alot like him. And it worked which is all that mattered!

(Meaning no offense, just thinking maybe she'd be a club wielder as well)>

Serious,
Is your husband Aspie? Or is he just being a man? (I'm sure that will offend someone!) I just mean that emotion is not something that is nurtured or accepted in men.

He's a NQ, I guess. Very introverted and quiet, but not an aspie. I believe he has contributed traits to our children. We have one that is a super-aspie.
He has health problems and is very depressed right now. I feel so sorry that the whole thing happened.
heaven't understood what happened, hope you feel better soon.
(my husband has health problems(back) for ten years now, it's better now,
it's tough, for both, for the one having it and the one living next to it too)
