My Husband - Mike is an undx Aspie which can make things very hard on
me because we have three boys with Autism. Kyle 3.5 HFA, Karl 5 ASD
& Donald 10.5 AS, which means I am solo, I can't say solo for being
Typical because I have always said that I am NOT normal and don't want
to be normal. Since Mike was never dx at a young age he is learning
along with the boys on many Autism quirks. Things that causes
frustration for me is that Mike has NO common sense, no sense on time
importance, no understanding of the boys structure and he can remember
every history fact but cannot remember simple instructions. To add to
things he is a trucker and only home 4-6 days a month. Needless to say
it is up to me to do just about everything. A few months ago we had our
third argument in almost 12 years about him dismissing things I say
because I am not 'book smart' just like our son Donald does to me. I am
the Arts person with common sense & street smarts. Since that
argument he has really stepped up his game. I actually enjoyed his last
vacation home, he even learned to make me eggs, bacon & toast for
breakfast.
Recently Mike got a gmail account & we just linked
our calendars together. When reviewing I saw that he had a date
highlighted. March 9, the day my miscarried son/daughter would have been
born, he/she would have been 14 this year. My heart melted as he told
me that he always wants to remember to be gentle with me on that day. I
so wish he was home because I fell in love with him all over again.
It
really shows that you are never to old to learn new things. He has
really showed me that he does love me and cares about my feelings, he
just does it in a different manner. I just hope his next step is to plan
a romantic date night for us:):) Valentines Day in a couple of weeks
Handsome. Hint, hint, hint!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVE YOU HANDSOME :)
