As I've posted elsewhere, my son has Asperger's and is adapting pretty well at 22; he should graduate from the local state college in December! My husband-to-be is self-diagnosed with Asperger's; I agree that he certainly has strong tendencies that point in that direction.

One thing that's important to stress is that people with AS can have strong connections and relationships with other people- my son has always been deeply attached to his parents and sister, and my SO is loyal, faithful, committed, and both are brilliantly intelligent and creative. And quirky, not always sure how to act, but both also have a great sense of humor- if you can follow them!
Both men are incredibly loveable and appealing, but can be brusque and awkward.
But how I love them!
