I was thinking that quark was something in the science field, but I didn't want to take the time to look it up. LOL... It does sound like Gorga, Georgia, Georga (why can't I remember this???!!!) anyway, it does sound like Kris & G's hubby's could very well be AS. (you're not crazy Kris, well, maybe you are, but not about this LOL) I remember when I first started reading about ASD that there often is a scientist or engineer or " computer geek " in the family somewhere of an ASD child. I can't figure it out too well in our family except that my Grandfather was in electronics repair and died from Alzheimer's disease (but NT as far as I can remember), my Dad was an Engineer for IBM, but way too social to be AS I think, and I'm fairly certain that on hubby's side of the family there could be some AS. So, do Aspie hubby's make good livings? It seems like that might hold true. ~ Karin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2003 Report Share Posted January 18, 2003 Karin, thanks for asking! Things are good now. :-) This past year has been a struggle, but all in all, things are good. What don't kill you makes you stronger I guess. (another one of those stupid sayings) > > LOL Sara, you are so wild! Yeah, I'm the bipoler one.
