Can you be more specific about your fiance's difficulties? There are many things that could be the problem -- if you could narrow it down, it would help us to help you out.

Hi safren,

Welcome To

Image

The whole site is filled with specifics regarding HFA and all it's idiosyncrasies /manifestations. Try using the search function for specifics. Aspergers symptoms may also apply, BTW The term "NT" will be found repeatedly throughout your quest, it stands for NeuroTypical, meaning those considered to have an "average" or "standard" type wiring in their brain.

Also consider searching YouTube for couples with aspergers or marriage and autism, terms along those lines will introduce you to some wonderful books and blogs and people who share your situation and concerns. Last but not least, don't be afraid to ask what might seem odd questions, we all learn from and through each other around here.
:)
