Salli,

I think we all married Enrique or someone like him. Even me -- who has

autism on my side of the family.

My husband has more than 6,000 albums and almost as many CDs now.

And I could list the other things ...

Never mind. I'll just scan his categorized, alphabetized list of everything

in the house.

Oh goody. I'm glad you sent this in. 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.
