How Can Asperger Syndrome Be Managed?

I think my recently ex husband has aspergers. He was moody, very intense and uncomfortable in social situations. Now retired he is 68 and has difficultly finding purpose and difficultly with directions. Upon divorcing he still is unable to see why I left him. He would be kind one minute and hurtful the next. I would ask him to please be nice to me and he would try.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Asperger syndrome is an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) that is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction and nonverbal communication, alongside restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests. Autism spectrum disorders are generally found in children. Don't diagnose self.

Your ex husband could be troubled with separation anxiety or depression associated with disappointment. Do consult a psychologist for further diagnosis and directions.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
