Hi guys,
I'm new here. I hope you don't mind a newbie like me opening with a question like this.
I suspect my housemate maybe an Aspie. I'm wondering what might be the best way for me to bring up the subject with him, and to suggest that it might be good for him to go about doing a test to see if he does have Asperger's.
I'm a little worried that he might take my suggestion the wrong way and that it would upset him. I'm a bit worried that he might think I would be inferring he's is a 'bit strange' and he needs to speak to someone about that. Rather, I see that he struggles in some areas, and I'd really like to see him overcome some of these frustrations, or at least gain insight by looking into it (assuming it is that he turns out to have Asperger's).
I'd be interested to hear your thoughts / suggestions.
Nick
