  • As with many other 'functioning' issues of the brain where the person can function within nominal parameters, it helps more if you do not treat them 'special' or make overtly 'helpful' gestures. Since he is an adult he has most likely adjusted his life to be as 'normal' (bad word that) as possible thus most likely doesn't need 'support' or 'understanding' and needs normalcy. Since it took a year to 'discover' his condition I would assume his "problem" is well hidden or is not going to present a problem for him (or you) during the course of average 'living'. Since he didn't tell you on the first date (or even during the first year) his telling you now most likely is more of an 'FYI' or 'By the way did you know.....' and not a cry for 'help' or special attention. Its not like he has just lost the use of limb(s) or is going to die in a years time thus requiring 'heroic' changes in your life to accommodate 'special needs'. Continue as you were - what ever 'as you where before you knew' was like. Relationship wise, if its not broke, don't fix it. ;-)
