Not sure why I never shared this..

I was thinking last night, when I couldn't go to sleep that someone here may appreciate me sharing this.  My ex (high school sweetheart, 7 year relationship) had ASD (Asperger's) and severe SEVERE social anxiety disorder.  I think he's had some dx thrown around since then like possible bipolar, etc.  But he never received any therapy as a young child and the majority of the 'help' he got I helped him get. He wasn't even able to order at a drive thru fast food speaker. The thing that helped him the most seemed to be a men's group at a local resource center.  It wasn't until after I ended our relationship that he was given the internal motivation to try and change/get better and ended up getting a pretty good job, etc.  He had a couple of other serious relationships and even got married (he is getting divorced..but is still dating other people as well).

I know I always worry about P having issue finding an intimate relationship with all of her genitouro issues so I just thought I would share that our children do learn ways to cope and that their will always be people willing to give them a chance!

    Aw, that's nice that he was able to find resources for support and help.  That's actually one of mine and dh's biggest fears is that since ds is an only child.  I truly hope he gets meets someone, falls in love, and has a relatively normal life.
