| I agree with your premise ... it seems to be very common for Aspies' intentions to be misconstrued, and for people to attribute motives to us that are totally wrong. It's happened to me, many times. And you're right ... it's very frustrating and demoralizing. You don't want to hear my experiences, h... |

| Of perhaps greater importance than engineering skill, when you're talking about vast public works projects that take decades to finish, are the political and organizational skills to keep the project on track. I have no doubt that most any bright architectural or civil engineering graduate could dev... |

Speaking only for myself, of course, my wants are very simple. I need only to fill up my water tanks every we... |

| What is the meaning of your user name? Seems new age. Interesting... Many years ago, that's what a woman called me, presumably because she thought I was made of stone. It was rather hurtful at the time, but that was before I knew about AS. But now that it no longer bothers me, no one calls me that ... |

Is he aware that he's making you sore? And he continues? Well, that would make him an inconsiderate ass.
And sorry but it's difficult for me to imagine why you'd be agreeable to him "having" you while you're asleep. |

| I seriously doubt there's anyone on this site qualified to give meaningful advice in a case like this, especially since there are obviously additional factors you haven't mentioned. You readily admit you don't know for certain why the child was taken, and that's the crux of this situation. |

The bitterness you feel is certainly understandable, but in the long run it's not getting you anywhere. In a sense, your b... |

| How do you persuade a very stubborn 63 year old to ask for a diagnosis? I don't know. As the previous poster noted, it may not even be possible. But can you at least get him to read up on it himself? At this age, I honestly don't know how much benefit an "official" diagnosis would bring, anyway. I'... |
