Coping with an adult with Asperger's (4) - Blog Entry

28 Sep 2007 11:25 AM

My mom has been married to a man for almost 10 years who treats her very well. He however displays many characteristics of aspergers as well as obsessive/compulsive personality disorder. He has no children and this is his first marriage. Since recently having a child, husband and I are spending more time with my mom and her husband. It can be very difficult for both of us to deal with his regimened ways. His topics of conversation are limited to his interests, he passes judgement on those who do not share his concrete thinking and he lacks in interpersonal skills.

I don't believe that he has any idea that he is different, hence he has never been diagnosed with any disorder. How do you go about having empathy for those who show no empathy for others? It can be frusrating at times even though I know he cannot help it.
