It's very good advice. A similar perception, and a similar tactic,

saved *our* marriage. Then, and still.

Lightly paraphrasing Yoda: " Try? There is no try. ...Only DO! " It

still takes work - and *willingness*, on both sides - to save a

foundering marriage. ...But well worth it!

My only gripe with the article, is it calls Asperger " a mild form of Autism " . How can anything be considered " mild " , when Finch almost lost everything he held dear to his disability? My husband damn near killed himself from his depression caused by it. There are folks getting a SSI/SSDI monthly check for Asperger diagnosis. Hardly mild if you ask me.

Generally Aspies are able feed themselves, use a toilet, and.verbalize wishes. But that shouldn't  be the line between serious and mild. I know of Aspies who have serious problems Activities of Daily Livonig skills. They have problems bathing, changing clothes, cooking etc.

Article needed a better editor.
