Hello all,
My fiance has recently been officially diagnosed with Aspergers, though it has been suspected for some time. He is mostly pretty 'normal' though sometimes can be difficult. I'd love it if anyone has any suggestions on how to get an adult aspie to do the sensible thing, rather than whats more fun (like actually going to work, or not spending the rent money on a computer). Thankfully he is perfectly capable of getting by on his own, he can just be very shy of strangers and gets very upset about being late for things (to the extent that he wouldnt go to work because he was running half an hour behind). We are living in a shared house with a group of his friends now, though I'm not sure if thats being good or bad for him.
Im mainly trying to find out as much as I can to try to ensure that our marriage will last and we will stay together as he is the most important person in the world to me, but sometimes he can really drive me crazy. I've followed a tip someone gave in another thread today and have given him a precise list of what I expect him to do each day while the rest of us are out working rather than just saying 'look for a job and tidy up around here' so I shall see when I get home if this has worked.
