Knowing what you want

My AS husband just wrote an article about knowing what you want. And that being persistent in getting what you want is important and so on.

The thing I find so ironical is that what he wants is normally what he thinks he wants. He reads someone else's plan or teachings or sharings, and then he makes them his. Usually what he wants is then short lived, because things get hard, and while he may get some results in the first 2 months, but because he doesn't do the necessary in the area of business to make it sustainable, it doesn't last. He does not have a business mind and whatever suggestions I have for him is taken in a completely wrong context, where I am seen as criticizing him. So I have now chosen to keep quiet. And just watch him slide, lose confidence and see things just hanging. He loses his confidence and his condition worsens, and everyone at home is unhappy. The stress levels go up sky high.

I feel helpless in this area.

It is scary to see him go into these highs and lows, and I sometimes wonder that besides AS, is he also bi-polar when he goes from extremes highs to extreme lows?

Has it ever happened where someone has AS and is also bi-polar?

Sometimes I feel like I am going crazy and I am imagining all of these, while he is perfectly normal and that I am just seeing everything in the wrong perspective.
