This describes my husband, more or less.

I am the one apt at quoting everything from Trek to any book I read (I have a

photographic memory I am afraid). Chris's short term memory is pretty much gone

due to a side effect of his thyroid problems. However...a couple weeks ago he

rattled off to me this huge project he had to do at work, what he had to do to

get it done, all the parts he needed, and verbally threw all the math at me for

it as it applied to the project (he has one of those techno-geek jobs in

satellite communications). This was sitting in his mind for I don't know how

long and the man can not remember to bring eggs, milk and diapers and toliet

paper home on his way to work. I guarentee you he will always forget something

and bring home ice cream or root beer or something just as absurd in it's place.

In the 11 years that we have been together I have learned to live with this. I

have learned to live with all of his quarks. His mother tells me she wouldn't

put up with half of it. The thing is, I have always accepted as he is,

without those quarks he wouldn't be Chris. LOL! He has absolutly no socail

skills. He is also totaly clueless. We sat down one day and talked about how

he had no dates in school and in college and and all and it turns out that the

man really does not know when someone is flirting with him. I have no idea how

he made it left to his own devices.

I think my hubby has asperger's

I'm not kidding. He has very low social skills (I get really nervous

around alot of people he says) He has the bible memorized, as well as

every star trek, lord of the rings book, anything science fiction,

can build computers from scratch, and has like a photographic

memory. However, he can't remember what I said to him 3 seconds

ago. He read at the age of 2, and is a very introverted person,

unless he's with people he knows. When he talks to me or watches tv

he never moves his head, and I swear upon my holy computer he never

blinks. He only responds to " geek humor, " and doesn't understand why

I think SNL is so funny. He's a great guy, and I take alot of credit

in helping him become less wierd. LOL. But after reading this

stuff, it really makes me wonder.

Quirks. You mean quirks.

Quarks are subatomic particles. Which has as well, but do not make

him act oddly.

I'm really sorry, I tried, but I couldn't help it!!!

Many of us think we or someone we love is on the spectrum, and there is

definitely a genetic componant to autism in many cases. So it's entirely

possible. Somewhere there is an " AQ test " to determine your " autism

quotient " as an adult -- how autistic you are. Maybe will post it for

you.

I'm serious too.

Are you the bipolar one? Cause there's a link there, too, genetically

speaking.

But don't you DARE get into " the blame game " over who passed on what gene.

That's just silly.

Georga, I think we married the same man. I totally cracked up at the

grocery store remark, totally, how WELL I can relate to that. Oh

well, at least he will go to the store, and if he forgets something,

then he will go right back to the store. He's a nice guy. :-)

LOL Sara, you are so wild! Yeah, I'm the bipoler one. Sigh, and

we've already played the blame game almost a year ago. he

said " you're a fucking psycho, " and i said " well, you're just fucking

wierd " and my oldest son (who we thought was asleep) runs down the

stairs and asks what fucking means......shew boy, I'm glad the blame

game is over for us, because it isn't much fun....... :-( Anyways,

I won't get into the story of how we almost got a divorce going thru

all of this. Let me just say (as I'm sure most of you know) it

wasn't much fun...... So, poor little guy, between me and Jim and

all of those shots never stood a chance.
