Could my DH have Aspergers?

[UnnamedFemaleProtagonist]

I had a lightbulb moment after something Vicarinatutu said yesterdayabout her DS having the 'aspie bounce'.

My DH (40) has a distinctive bouncy walk, he walks on his toes, his heels don't touch the ground. I don't know if this is the 'aspie bounce' though.

DH is of above average intelligence, high IQ, did very well in school and uni, has a high law degree and amazing general knowledge (almost photographic memory).

He is very un-empathetic. He can't understand any MH problems at all and thinks people should 'man up'. He is very black and white with the kids, tells them off at the drop of a hat and can't seem to negotiate.

He has a reputation for being a straight talker ie offensive and seems to relish in this. He isn't one for small talk. He is very witty.

He is successful and popular at work.

Any thoughts?

Ignore above post - finger trouble

WetAugust- the wired link doesn't work.

Not sure DH is goingto be open to checking out any links, he will just instantly dismiss my thoughts as 'bollocks'.

My nephew and a friends DS have ASD and HFA and I have never heard anyone say that DH exibited any symptoms as a child.

All the adult ones fit though.

I'm not sure about the "aspie bounce". My BIL does it. He is a professional tennis coach and the most sociable person I know. He definitely doesn't have AS but he thinks he might have ADHD. T
