    Agree with the other posters but hope you aren't looking for a major change in his behaviour. You wouldn't try and get a blind or deaf person to see or hear and you won't get a person who is emotionally blind to suddenly become emotionally sighted.

    It can work, I have recently discovered that I have ASD and have kept a marriage going for 30 years. It needs give and take on both sides and also the will to make it work.
