Most of you probably know my dealings with my Aspie prof. and love interest. For the past two years, he's had trouble sitting next to me because he'd get aroused and had to rush to the bathroom. This past month, he has finally been able to control it and he can at least sit next to me. The last time I saw him (yesterday) he was siting next to me and was aroused for half of the time, but at least he could control it and did not have to get up and go.

He has also become better at returning phone calls and picks up the phone even when he is abroad and I call him(which he only does for his family). He is generally a very, very busy man but makes time for me if I ask him and call a few times.

What I find really weird is that he passes messages to me through the creation of an imaginary third person whom he "talks" to on the phone when I am in his presence. For example, he left me waiting for him for half an hour ten days ago. Yesterday, when I saw him, he picked up his cell phone and started "talking" to a woman and said, "I am deeply sorry for making you wait like that. I am very busy with my work and am really very angry at myself for making you wait without showing up." He's done this to me several times but instead of apologizing to me directly, he has to create a third person to stand in for me. Is this a form of schizophrenia or common Aspie behavior?
