leomama I agree with eskie and she should know in that she sure had a lot of experience when it came to interacting with someone with this challenge. Unfortuntely, for eskie as she has shared with you there was no actual help for her at the time so she would know why both her father and her now ex were so difficult to interact and form an actual connection with. leo, it's important to understand that these individuals want to connect better yet they genuinely continue to struggle to do so because they simply are wired differently. I would correct the last sentence that eskie posted from you should know by the way he has treated you TO you should know by the way he has interacted with you, there is a difference in that with him it's not intentional, it's only what he is capable of. It's similar to if someone genuinely can't see the color blue, no matter how much you try to help him/her and explain it, they just simply cannot see that color but may learn how to remember the sky is blue and a room in their house is blue and some birds are blue, but that never means he will genuinely know what "blue" really is or looks like, understand??
