I think my friends DH may have some aspergers-y traits - should I mention it to her?

Please note, I am not an expert in SN at all but over the years I have known my friend, the suspicion has grown that he may have aspergers traits. I know my friend gets frustrated and upset at his behaviour sometimes. Her DH has 2 nephews that have apsergers, suggesting it may be in his family. Is it worth me subtly mentioning this - I don't know what to do and am quite open to being told I am talking out of my arse - HELP!

No. I would absolutely keep schtum. The risk of causing offence/upset is huge and you could well be wrong.

JaJas I would mention it to her in the hope it might explain some of his behaviour, which is upsetting to her, to help her perhaps understand why he does certain things.

Absolutely not - none of your business.

Ok point taken. Thanks.
