His initial response was basically, “I married you, no matter how you are described!” He started reading up on autism though, and a couple of days later, he said very seriously that he had heard that many autists don’t like to be touched much, and since his “love language” is pats and cuddles and hugs, he wasn’t sure if he could handle that well. I replied that since we have been happily married for 38 years and have had three children, that I don’t think our snuggling habits are going to suddenly change. And they haven’t!

Right now I’m skeptical of anyone who is trying to sell me something. Thanks for mentioning Tom’s Hardware, I’ll take a look at them. One of my concerns is privacy, and I’d rather not store things on the cloud. Of course, maybe it’s too late for privacy, but that’s a whole ‘nother question!
