Guest guest Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 A LONG SHADOW IS LIFTED ON ASPERGER'S IN ADULTS by Suzanne Leigh <snip> For Loughman of Berkeley, Calif., a retired director of a hospital cytogenetics lab and grandfather of six, reading about Asperger's led to an epiphany when his conviction that he had the condition was confirmed by a psychologist three years ago. Loughman, 74, says that like many people with Asperger's, he has difficulty making eye contact and tends to rock back and forth ( " stimming " in Asperger's parlance). He believes Asperger's explains why he flourished in the highly structured environment of the U.S. Army and partially explains why his first wife of 10 years divorced him. (His second marriage, which has lasted 40 years, has weathered decades of turmoil but is now calm, he reports.) <snip> Miss G, The Stalker NT (traces of AS) married to husband DX’d AS 44 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
