I didn't recommend marriage with NTs. I think it is better to find people with compatible challenges rather than another autie whose challenges don't complement yours enough.

          Since that article, I have met more couples of auties who seem to be doing well. I have also met a lot more autie/aspies whose basic social skills are better than what I related. Live and learn.

     I am not sure I would feel so strongly about my premise if I was writing that article now. But whether you marry another autie/aspie or not, I think your chances are better when you have common interests but are strong and challenged in different ways so you can compliment each other and be sympathetic to each other's general condition.

          "Mr. Helpful" with the blowup doll was a complete nightmare. I heard about him when in Halifax and had my chapter invite him to do a one-day workshop. NEVER AGAIN.

          I am out of town and probably away from the list till monday. Not for money; donating a couple of days to help the ASA Phoenix Chapter conference. But it will be fun. I have a much bigger support group up there than in Tucson.
