It all sounds so familiar. This is causing a HUGE rift in our marriage too. He

believes I am reaching with every bit of information I come up with. I have

pointed out the behaviors, he experiences the frustration with her - trying to

'teach' her something or seeing her socially flub up again and again despite

explaining the issue - and although a neurologist gave a clinical dx of

asperger's and OCD traits, he still thinks this is something she will mature out

of eventually.

I feel like I'm doing this all alone. Probably because I am! In fact, it may be

easier to do it alone. At least then I wouldn't have the resistance to deal with

on top of chasing my tail trying to figure out how to be a decent mom to this

child.
