    You should definitely tell her. Put together a presentation and invite the entire neighborhood. Serve drinks and finger foods and make sure everyone dresses their absolute best.

    Thought this was a reaction thread based on the "neighbour told my wife" thread and repped you, but just saw it was the other way 'round. Damnit, give me back my rep.

    And also: If he has it, I'm sure the wife would know and is still happily married to him. Also, introverts too often get labelled as Asperger's patients, I wouldn't throw that phrase around when you're not sure. It's kind of offending.

    A. It's a something.
    B. I don't. This is a Bull**** forum. I'm bull****ting with my homies.

    Denial? She worships the guy and loves how 'quirky' he is.

    She's an accountant. Their son is BFFs with my son.

    I really find that hard to believe(I'm no expert) because he doesn't act like any of the people I know that have been diagnosed with it. They way he interacts with his teammates is not typical of a person with autism.

    An accountant married to an aspy engineer? That's not strange, that's true love right there.

    you guys ever watch interviews from the "weird' girl from Parks and rec. There are certain mannerisms in aspergers (eye movements, hand moving , stiff posture, no eye contact,) I'm fairly certain she has a mild version of it.

    Maybe she just doesn't introduce her husband as "My husband with Aspergers." ????

    Dr. Brennan from bones also.
    Eli manning, apparently he walks into a room and doesn't look anyone in the eyes. the not knowing situations explains how pressure in the playoffs doesn't get to him.
