LL - I'm really sorry that things haven't progressed more for you in the past year...

Something that finally made a lot of sense for me was coming to the realization that I probably have a condition called Asperger Syndrome (or High-Functioning Autism) which would explain a great deal of my communication difficulties. Reading about your H, I wonder if he may have this as well. Since it is inherited, are there any relatives of his that exhibit similar traits to his? Although it generally reflects on males, it is not uncommon for females to have this condition as well.

There's a website that I'll guide you to:

Oasis Web Site

It has a lot of very good information for you to sink your teeth into. There's also a very good that W bought last year that really delves into the dynamics of Asperger's: "Asperger Syndrome and Long-Term Relationships" by Ashley Stanford and Liane Holliday Willey. Amazon.com has it if you (or anyone else) wishes to order it. It was a real eye-opener for me. Hopefully others will check this out as well...

Will I start up a thread again here on the BB? No - I think that it is best for me to help others out here rather than focusing on my sitch. KAW knows how to get in touch with me...
