But I don't know what these mean! What should I expect? He acts very odd in public, but he says he was diagnosed with a little of these...What does it mean? How can I help? I also get angry at him for things that he does that are really not normal, so I want to know what I must understand of him

Whoever was above me pretty much hit the aspy nail on the head. If you don't directly show your emotions, then he will not know that you are feeling them. If you want something, you need to tell him, otherwise he will not know. Hinting might not work. You will need to understand that he sees emotions in a logical way. Whenever you complain about something that he can fix, then he will show his care be fixing it. He will most likely have a hard time getting what he wants to say to you to where you will understand. He might assume that you already know what he is talking about. Do you mean ADD? That is when we are extremely hyper and energetic and exuberant. We may be bouncing off the walls at times, and it is hard for us to concentrate on some things. I am surprised. Your boyfriend is the only person I have ever met besides me who is both an Aspy and ADD.

Asperger's is a form of autism which inhibits ones social skills. He may be trying to be nice to you but offend you be accident, which is very common among "Aspies " like myself. As for PDD, I don't know what that means.
