Autism Spectrum Disorder
Hey, all:
I have what was formerly referred to as Asperger's Syndrome. My intelligence is above average and I can pass as neurotypical, but I am still very much autistic. Lately, I have been trying to connect with a man who I love and who admitted that he has feelings for me, but he's married...and my boss. We ended up going out once and things went down hill from there because my guilt kicked in.
His wife is an awesome person but she acts like an animal in captivity when he's around. His behavior is hot and cold around me, and others have told me that it sounds like an abusive relationship. I think my inability to read social skills is shielding me, but I still love the man and all I want is for him to be charming and kind to me like he was when we first met.
