My husband is very intelligent, and very social, but I keep noticing little things that are similar to autism, but not really. For example, he often appears deaf. At first I just thought this was the whole ignore the wife-selective hearing thing, but I was talking with his friends, and this often happens. You can be right next to him saying his name multiple times, and it is if it doesn't register, but he isn't purposely ignoring you. He had delayed speech as a child, but once he learned how to speak there were no problems whatsoever. He also zones in on things, and you can't break his concentration if it is the last thing you do. He sometimes has trouble communicating his wants and reasons for things, but he will certainly try. Are these just idiosyncrasies (sp?) or does he have some mild disorder? We aren't worried, but it would be nice to know anyways. Thanks!
