Help please

Oh. And I decided to take meds. They helped A LOT. My H has decided that's not for him, and has chosen to power through it.

I'm not sure how well that's working for him. For me it was like putting on glasses to read. I CAN read without them, but it's so much harder than it needs to be.

Oh, and I also have mild (very mild) Asperger's.

Shoot. That cat is out of the bag now!

All this I have not mentioned on my own thread because I didn't want people making assumptions and saying "No wonder he left the woman."

My friends and people in my life can't see either diagnosis. That's because I have worked really hard to overcome it and learn what comes to others naturally.

So I come off really "regular" and with "good social skills" NOW, but you should have seen me as a kid.

Again, I don't want to use it as an "excuse" card.
No doubt it has played into my sitch, but in an odd way I think it makes me a better person.

Strong sense of right and wrong, and all that. Probably why I never cheated all those years. Because it's "wrong".

ADHD/ADD/Aspergers are all variations of the autistic spectrum, presented in different ways and to varying degrees. It wasn't a big stretch for me to finally accept the Asperger's diagnosis since it just connected to the ADD anyway...

But if baring my soul will help you, fire away. I'll answer anything.
