Almost 12 years ago, I met the man of my dreams and we’ve been married almost 10 years. Not long after we were married, we started having some issues with communication in our marriage. I know, don’t all couples struggle with this problem? We also had some other problems. About 5 years into our marriage, and after several marriage counseling sessions, our counselor suggested that my husband may have autism and suggested that he go for testing. Of course, we were both shocked and never expected to hear this. It’s been about 4 ½ years since my husband’s diagnosis of Asperger’s Syndrome and let me tell you, he’s still the man of my dreams. This diagnosis is what saved our marriage. He was and still is the most loving, supportive and understanding husband in the world. He would do anything for me and with the correct therapy, he’s been an even better husband. I wouldn’t change a thing about him.
