My adult Aspie son never seems to get angry at anybody but himself. He has always had brief, but loud, outbursts, and usually says something like, "Why am I such an IDIOT?!?" or "Why can't I do anything right?!?" It makes me so sad that his anger is turned in on himself. These are the only times I h...

I'm a NT mother of an adult with AS, and I, too, was overwhelmed when I first saw all these threads and discussions! I have to say that I admire you so much for the pro-active way you are dealing with so many different issues. It appears from what you wrote that you attempt to improve yourself, no m...

"Probably the most interesting thing I've noticed is the way I've learned to communicate. I feel like every word or phrase I use is associated with some specific instance - either the way I learned it, or a certain pronunciation, or the way a person said it in a movie... " (I'm not sure to "quote" y...

Toy Soldier, thank you for your thoughtful and reasonable post. Our family is an extremely loving one, which is one reason our d-in-law loves being married to Glenn. Yes, we have quite a "bumpy road" ahead, but we will do the best we can. I will never let me son know that I have any insight into his...

Thank you both for your responses. To Aardvark: It may very well be the time for me to discuss Asperger's with my son. What I forgot to mention is that I told my d-in-law of my belief that Glenn has AS. I thought it was important for her to know that there may be a "reason" for his behavior. And, it...

There's no need for you to apologize! You feel as if you've been dealt a blow, and this is a life-changing event for you. I'm a parent of an Aspie, and I'm reeling so strongly from an AS-related problem that I, too, feel as if my world is falling apart -- and I'm not even the person with AS! (I've j...

I have an adult son with what I have thought of as "mild" AS. He has a wonderful wife and a son and a very good career. I have never shared with him my knowledge of his AS - I only became familiar with the disorder when he was attending college, and by that time he had assimilated into the "mainstre...
