| A fun day is fine but probably not a surprise fun day. It can be a real issue having two people with extreme needs in the same household, and trying to get them both met. Pragmatically, the one with the most viable choices right now is your step dad, and I can't really blame him for wondering if he... |

| I'm sorry you're dealing with so much. Both AS and depression/bipolar are hard to live with, and it sounds like you're the one who is trying to smooth over the problems people are having with each other. I don't know if this will make you feel relieved or discouraged, but ultimately people are resp... |

| Let's start with the room issue. As has been pointed out, executive function is often an issue with AS. Which means that your brother isn't choosing to have a messy room as much as feeling overwhelmed by the concept of cleaning it, most likely. He has no idea where to start or how to do it. And I'l... |

| Besides, too late for 'just leave him be' now that he can't see his friend any more. We never said his friend couldn't come back, it's Lizzy who's decided she doesn't want to come back. She made that decision herself, we're begging Paul to let us write/talk to her to convince her that my stepdad wo... |

| I think I can offer some advice on this matter. Butt out of his life. He's 18, he's not going to change, and he should be able to spend as much time with a girl as he wants, and keep his room how he wants, provided he is not leaving food up there to rot. If you all have so much of an issue with him... |

| This is just my guess, but for what it's worth, I think there are a number of issues. But you're not going to like a lot of what I say. I hope you read it carefully anyway. You obviously don't understand your brother, but I do, at least somewhat, because I live in his world. And until you understan... |

| I can't help but feel that this was a question I was born to answer what with my being a seventeen year old male aspie and all. It's very true that change can be hard for someone with AS. I can certainly see how all those massive changes might have left him feeling a little sore. It's also true tha... |

| He is a teenager. Teens can be a big pain in the ass, especially when it comes to the other sex. He may not be in a romantic relationship, but it is an intimate relationship nonetheless. When kids are that age, they think they know EVERYTHING. They are becoming independent people from their family,... |

| Hi there, I'm new. I am 21 and my younger brother is 18, he has Asperger's Syndrome. For the sake of privacy, I'll use fake names. I'm not sure if this is the right topic to post in but since this relates to parenting I thought I should put it here. If it's wrong, feel free to move it. At the moment... |
