I couldn't figure out why I had so much trouble in my marriage dealing with my H's thinking & behaviors. I lived with it 33 years before I finally left still not understanding why things were the way they were.
One T I went to when I explained it suggested that my H might have Asperger's. I stuck that thought in the back of my mind until something else came up that negatively effected me from 2100 miles away.
I got the book The Complete Guide To Asperger's Syndrome by Tony Attwood. I read that book & it totally explained the H I had lived with all those years. It gave meaning to the things his mom had said about him. Other sites & videos have also added a lot of knowledge. Finally I understood why I had the problems in my marriage that I had.
The thing is that it does not manifest itself in the same way in each person but in their own ways they do see the world differently in a way is is sometimes very hard for a neurotypical to understand where they are coming from & if they are not diagnosed, then why.
I think it is not always seeing the WHOLE world differently, it is just parts of it which is why it is hard because to others some things serm so normal & then some things seem so different which makes it a challenge to relate to.
