| How frustrating that your parents weren't able to here you with an open mind. It must have hurt. And talking about you behind your back! That's just unacceptable. It is difficult to cut off family. I needed to do that for a while with my Dad. Try to keep an open ming. Things might change in the fut... |

| The most wonderful thing is happening now. When I'm not home, my son (10 months), is asking for me (saying something that sounds like 'papa' and looking arround to the places he usually sees me). When I get home, he immidiately clings to me. I have a bond with him that is so deep. It makes me happy. |

I'm in my twenties, but most people if they have to guess put me about 35.
That's strangly enough about the age I feel most of the time. When things go really wrong, I feel like I'm 50 or something. |

| I recently told my parents about Asperger. They were downright hostile about me having it, saying there was nothing wrong with me (as though I attacked them). Later, everyting escalated. It seems they had been gossiping arround my back about me and my wife to just about everyone. It also turns out t... |

| What are you both doing in raising AS? children that may cause red flags. If you read arround the link I posted to attachment parenting you will get some idea of how we are as parents. Most of the things related to it or unusual in the culture I live in (Europe), which tends to center more arround ... |

| I became a father 10 months ago (I have a son). Although I haven't been diagnosed, it is highly probable that I have AS (confirmed by some tests, but not official). My wife and I are different from most people, which has always been a moderate problem. Until we became parents, then it turned into a ... |

Look at GNU/Linux or Mozilla Firefox, they're works of art and they cost nothing. In these times when... |

Not too good actually.
A lot of problems at work that are stressing and for a month now having a huge fight with my parents (worse then ever before).
Good thing I have my wife and son, they are the only things that keep me hanging on. |

| I'd be happy with that plus a circle of acquaintances - a wife and one real friend would be all I need. Just having a compatible wife alone is more than I could ever hope for, personally. I always thought so too. I never had a girlfriend before. Until I met my wife, 9 years ago (we were 19). We bot... |

Since this is impossible in the current corporate culture, I'm having more and more problems to cope with every new day. I'm in my late twenties and basicly dreaming of retire... |

But now I also have to do some Visual Basic stuff, which I hate, and to make it worse, it requires large amounts of human interaction (so stressing). That said, I basicly have difficulties working in itself. I hate the being lo... |
