He is paying more attention to your content then to the context. I know, because I'm an aspie myself and I realized I was doing the same thing and did not realize it. <br /><br />aspie wife, I feel the same way sometimes with my NT wife as you do with your aspie husband. I feel like I have to be a mind reader. With your husband the feeling may be mutual.cubeangelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1026421087737007766.post-85289486000821405522011-08-22T16:58:27.684-07:002011-08-22T16:58:27.684-07:00OMG NettyM my bf does that too!!

Like...I tried to do things like communicate through text messages but even then he has a hard time remembering or even registering what I'm saying. On the other hand, he's a brilliant student. Drives me mad.

I can't tell you how many times I have gone through these scenarios with my husband. I also know that screaming and yelling doesn't make things better. I have a 4 year old son that I am wondering about having some symptoms.Schmidt Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01687102770086286671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1026421087737007766.post-22722792645427831982011-06-23T10:49:52.009-07:002011-06-23T10:49:52.009-07:00Screaming right here with you!

It IS so hard to deal with! <br /><br />I wish I had something better to be able to reassure you with, but right now all I've got is that you're not alone. <br /><br />Mine often claims he told me something that I know I've never heard before, and somehow wants me to do things like plan meals when his schedule only exists in his head and/or only covers the next ten minutes or so. <br /><br />And lately this sort of theory of mind thing has cropped up into our conversations when he interprets things I've said into something completely different. I haven't yet figured out how this is happening except that maybe he's translating my words into something he's afraid I'll say and then just goes on as if I actually said it that way? Don't know, but it does make me question my sanity, and my will to continue trying to even speak at all. <br /><br />Deep breath is right. Is there something you can try that might just change the flow of things? For example, I'm looking forward to this weekend when we'll spend time with family and he'll be around his brothers. Which means he's getting some much-needed interactions/support from them while I can take a break from being his leading source of interaction/support.<br /><br />Praying for you!NettyMnoreply@blogger.com
