Thanks for the suggestions.

>Spend lots of time explaining the blidingly obvious in terms of social skills.

This is going to be interesting, especially for my wife. As I suspect I'm a bit of an Aspie myself, I can see social rules from an outsider's perspective. She'll have more trouble explaining why, for example, one (at least in America) can not mention an obese person's size in his/her presence. He knows he's fat, he knows that we know he's fat, and he we know that he knows that we know, etc/ Sp. whats the issue? That's a hard one. How do you explain the irrationality of allowing the fat person to suspend disbelief that we're thinking, "Oh mah gawd, you're really f'ing fat!"
