RE: Aspergers and immature behavior

[Guest guest]

I think of my hubby as having an inner three year old that comes out to play often. J Sometimes it is lots of fun, other times it is frustrating. I do think that for some Aspies they have a lower tolerance for stimulation so too much of anything can feel like pain. The best thing for my hubby is to keep his stress levels down so he does not become too over stimulated. Just my personal observation.Cheers,Deb From: aspires-relationships [mailto:aspires-relationships ] On Behalf Of JaciSent: April-23-12 7:21 PMTo: aspires-relationships Subject: Aspergers and immature behavior Hello!My fiancé has Aspergers. Is there a corallation between Aspergers and childlike behavior? He is 46 but sometimes it seems like he is a 10 yr old in an adult body. He loves potty humor or bodily function humor which seems to work fine with his 13 yr old son. He cries a lot. He holds his crotch as he runs to the bathroom. He justifies this by saying it 'hurts' when he has to go. Medically there isn't anything wrong with him, he just associates the pressure most feel with having to go as painful. I've read that AS can cause hyper sensitivity and I'm wondering if this is what causes the 'pain'. He cries at the Dr office like a child when getting a shot. Is this from Aspergers or from having a strong mother figure and growing up in a cult/church until breaking away when he was almost 30?I'm at a loss as to how to help!Jaci
