My husband was only diagnosed just over a year ago, so I am still learning. Patience is essential, as the things that I find difficult to handle he is also finding difficult. Had we had an earlier diagnosis I would have been less irritated by some of his obsessions. So far I am just 'going with the flow' unless he is about to embark on a dangerous activity, in which case I ask someone else to do whatever it is as soon as possible.
