I'm so glad I found you...I need advice
Advertisements [?]
I've been seeing a man on and off for about a year (I've known him for a many years). I totally adore him, but it's been a very bizarre and baffling relationship.

A couple months ago, I learned about Asperger's. The more I read about it, the more I see AS characteristics in my friend. He says his brain functions differently than other people's and he's told me he has a very bad case of ADD. But I suspect he may have Asperger's. I want to tell him about AS so he can ask a therapist about it. My friends tell me I should MYOB.

What does this group think? He trusts me and he listens to me. Should I bring it up? I think I should, but I wanted to ask those who know how he feels.

Advice?

Thank you! :hug:
