Hey Worried Norwich,
I have Aspergers and was diagnosed last year after my wife suggested to me that she thought I may have it. She told me that she had always known that I had traits or my own ways to do things and that I suffered socially but had never come to the conclusion untill talking to a friend of hers whose husband had been diagnosed with Aspergers and the simillarities in us. She aproached me on the subject and told me what her friend had said and to be honest a lot of it made sense. We agreed to call the doctor about the subject and she reccomended that I do an AQ test online to see what the result was and get back to her. I had also been suffering with depression for a long time so after scoring very high on the AQ test I was lucky enough to be seen quite quickly and then recieve my diagnosis about six months later and get all the help I needed to start understanding that it isn't my fault I am like this and help me cope with day to day life in a new way and not struggle by myself. I cannot thank my wife enough for coming to me that day and it has honestly helped our lives together so much easier and managable. I hope that when you mention it to your husband it all works out well for the both of you.
