Now? After an official diagnosis?

Never.

Certainly not before the official diagnosis, as your self-diagnosis could be incorrect.

What do you hope the result of directing her here is?

Is she generally a "safe" person for you?

Do you think she's on the spectrum?

She's very safe, and is dying for answers like me.
Aside from some OCD, she is NT.
I am just having a hard time explaining the myriad of information coming at me...and hoped maybe she'd have a "lightbulb" moment by reading the information here like I did.
I'll wait though. Thanks!

IMO this is a good site for anybody who wants to understand more about the spectrum, whether they are on the spectrum or not. If your OH suspects that she is on the spectrum, she may find information here that will help her confirm to herself if she is on the spectrum or not. You do not need an official diagnosis to use this site.
