Look Deeper

"He just seems off, I don't see why you're with him." This was not uncommon to hear from my family and friends when I started dating my husband. I have always been a social butterfly and it wasn't hard to tell my husband was EXTREMELY shy when it came to being social. However, this didn't stop me from spending every moment I could with him. As months passed, his once wondering eyes focused on mine, and his nervous hands stayed still. At this time he told me he had Aspergers and had been judge his whole life for it. He was told by therapists he would never live outside the home or get married. I've never seen anything, besides the beautiful soul that seemed to match mine so perfectly. We are now married and live in a different state. The day I met him I knew there would never be anyone else. He is my absolute everything............Aspergers and ALL. To those struggling with Aspergers, please know there is someone out there waiting for you, NEVER think otherwise. -Melelupe Johnson
