I didn't know that the clothes thing could go on into adulthood. thanks for adding that insightful detail to the discussion. <BR/><BR/>PS: had to delete the last comment but it was basically the same as this oneElizabethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4491125679904809656.post-81325114986161892632008-04-20T13:16:00.000-07:002008-04-20T13:16:00.000-07:002008-04-20T13:16:00.000-07:00I am married to a 54 year old man with Asperger's and I wonder how easier his life might have been had he been diagnosed earlier. Instead, he was just the odd one, his whole life. I literally ache when he tells me about his lonely childhood, knowing he wasn't like everyone else, but not knowing why. He told me once that he always wished for someone to hug him, but hating it if someone ever did.<BR/><BR/>As for the clothing issue, my husband can only wear clothing that is 100% cotton and his day-to-day uniform is button-downed, long sleeve shirts and Levis 505 jeans. If it's very hot, then he has become willing to wear shorts and golf shirts, but it must be very hot!<BR/><BR/>He struggles with doing "social", as he calls it, but he is the most amazing and funniest person I've ever met and I'm so lucky to have him as my husband.Theresahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09787798769968533964noreply@blogger.com
