That's impressive how he's a good musician and good at STEM.@Sega Genesis he is brilliant. He has a Master's degree in a STEM field, he plays an instrument beautifully and he is an incredible vocalist. Intelligence and IQ are different than emotional quotient or EQ. I have high IQ and EQ. I have businesses and also work as a consultant in a STEM field.
He probably would do with a mood stabilizer frankly but he is in deep denial about his ASD and that is akin to a paralyzed man refusing to embrace/accept the paralysis, and thus refuse the tools available to help him. We were at a high brow Christmas party last night. Fortunately they had a live ensemble playing so my husband could take a seat & enjoy the music & I could alternatively socialize & sit a while next to him. Before we went to the party (and for the first time ever) he told me he gets uncomfortable and anxious at functions like this. That's a big step toward acknowledgement. He has a skewed view (thanks tone deaf in laws) toward mental & emotional health and sees medication as indcative of a mental health problem. There are deep roots in dysfunctional family background. He did well at the party, people there are understanding about his social issues and are welcoming.
Any man involves pros and cons. Any man. I am well aware and chose him based on things most important to me.
As a rule of thumb, STEM types generally aren't good at musical/artistic creativity.
