| You could be describing my life completely just three years ago. (Except I got the diagnosis before the divorce, and decided the marriage was over, and abusive, when my ex said my medical diagnosis was bunk.) Get the diagnosis. With that, you will have confidence getting the help you need right now ... |

| I've always had a deep, inner knowing of the divine and spiritual things. Mysticism and religions have been something of a special interest. I used to be Catholic, even in periods of deep questioning and agnosticism brought on by the world. Now, I'm a Reiki Master Teacher and shamanic practitioner. ... |

| I wish I had paid more attention to the warning signs throughout my body that I tolerated as well. I kept on telling myself they would go away when the most stressful things in my environment went away. I was largely unaware of my body most of my life; it was screaming stop and I refused to listen.... |

| I don't believe nature would be so cruel as to put us on this planet and then only offer one viable option for mating. Also, I think humans live long lives and many change and grow considerably during their life span. Others not so much. A long time ago I married a man I believed was my "one", but l... |

Truly, I was certain of my diagnosis after reading this, and it gave me the courage to pursue assessment. Rudy has declared on her facebook ... |

| I would try ignoring her first. If she doesn't settle down (and if she was willing to camp outside in her car...well, she probably won't), then you need to be very direct: I'm not interested, please don't text me. If she starts to escalate, try again. If she still persists, be clear that you feel th... |

| It can be difficult to find people who recognize you as being on the spectrum when you're a woman. There are a lot of reasons for this. I went through the same thing, and had all kinds of people (friends, family and professionals) telling me I was wrong about what I knew in my gut to be true. Now th... |

You shouldn't blame left-leaning, misogynist-screaming, RAPE-fearing females for not wanting to engage in "discussion" with you. By the sounds of things, it's less of a moronic political ... |

What I wonder about is how much or how little understanding is okay or a sign to move on. I ended a 22 marriage to my husband when he told me my diagnosis was bull ... |

Clearly, she needed something you weren't able to give her--that isn't to say you didn't, sometimes we can't see what's right in front of us. Still, it's better to walk away now.
