| My question is if your husband thinks you have gotten worse and if he disagrees with things you do have anything to do with Asperger's. I deal with that with my mother. I don't think he thinks I am worse in any way. I'm not sure I could get worse in his mind. I think he agrees that I am speaking fr... |

| I think your husband sees you as you than a label but to some people labels are important and want to be seen as such. But on the other hand it's bad because that is all people see so they associate anything you do or what you believe in to being autistic and that gets annoying because you then fee... |

| IMO/E, people like in the OP always seem to be, one (or more) of the following: -- A family member is overwhelmed by their relative's diagnosis, and doesn't know how to sort-it-out / understand it, and so-forth. -- The person doesn't want to accept that someone else has a reason / explanation for t... |

| Yeah but relationships should NOT be about accepting someone's invalidation of you. If "accepting that line of thinking" means making excuses for your husband's refusal to understand you, that's BULL s**t. Birdinflight, yes, I like this! A relationship should not be about accepting someon... |

| Thanks, Ragnahawk. I read your post. My husband is an INTP. I'm a INFJ. I suppose relationships are often about reconciling expectations based on our own perceptions and personality. |

| Piepulp, you are certainly right about us having conflicting world views. And I certainly try to solve things with knowledge. I appreciate your views. I think differences don't have to negate what we have in common, but we do have to work around a few things. |

| Good luck FerrariFan. Marriage is tough! Piepulp, you seem wise beyond your years. I think you have some good points. His denial doesn't have to be my denial. Understanding myself is the most important thing. And I agree that he doesn't want to see me as an Aspie. I wonder if it is more comfortable ... |

| I am self-diagnosed aspergers. For several years I have taken various online tests, read everything I could about it, and thought about it from every direction, and it all adds up that I have aspergers. It answers pretty much every question I ever had about why I looked similar to every one else, bu... |

| I have been getting headaches and migraines for most of my life. My life has been greatly effected by them. I have extreme food intolerance and found that once I stopped eating most foods, they improved, but my brain isn't happy with my current restricted diet, so I'm having them again. If I start o... |
