Just remember that if you step out of that basket, they're likely to pull it up without you.

| I have one autistic son. I'm ready to kill him.....and that's on a good day. He dropped out of school, stays up all night, and talks about what he wants to do for a living, (without realizing that you need a highschool diploma). I feel like you do (in another post) I want to go into a room, close th... |

1. You have to use the "watch this topic" at the bottom of this page.
2. If that still doesn't work. e-mail [email protected] He's the system admin, and he'll either fix it (if there's something broken) or explain what you're doing wrong.
Good luck |

| Calista: Let's deal with some of the basic problems first. Depression. You can't work when you're depressed. There are some very good meds these days. If you're poor enough to be on aid, you can see a psychiatrist. Get that fixed, if possible first. Second, it sounds to me like you're missing someth... |

| However, I've had AS all my life. Welcome to the site, and get some professional help. I went through most of my life without it. It didn't hold me back that much, but until I saw someone about it, I was pretty miserable! I'm not saying that what's working for me is going to work for everyone, but w... |

| Welcome. You're not alone. You have an unusual husband. I have a kid with AS, and I'm AS myself. You have an adventure in front of you, and you and your husband are going to need each other or you're going to go insane. Hang in there, and please do post. It's hard to be supportive of someone who alm... |

A guy is going to walk into your bedroom (invited), and say "ohmygod, a routemaster!" Do you know what a righteous bus she was? And then what are you gonna do?
Hopefully, push him down on the bed, and well.....you know. |

If you're suffering from depression, the first thing to do is get that treated. I'm talking the... |

| So yesterday, I spent half an hour looking for the pencil I had put down. Finally got so frustrated that I picked up a ball point pen and started editing with that (I work on paper when I edit). Fifteen minutes and 10 ugly blue pages later, went to scratch my ear. Pencil was stuck in the temple piec... |

Strikes me that Hale_Bop deals pretty well with people who annoy her. I just wish she'd sharpen the ax, it kinda hurts when it's dull.

| You've got a problem. For example, one aspi I knew said she didn't understand why people thought it was funny when her brother said in conversation "I'll kill you," and why they were scared of her when she jumped out from behind a door with a knife in her hand saying the same thing. She didn't under... |

| You will always be different. And that's a good thing. What a boring world this would be without you. You're not a "total waste of air." That's why I say, see a professional. You like to talk, so do I, but I've taught myself over many years that other people don't always think I'm all that interesti... |

| I agree with EMP. All the way. But I'd like to share something with you. If you hate yourself, if you think everything is your fault, and all of that, you should be seeing someone about it, because being an Aspie is no reason to hate yourself (I'm trying to be supportive, not insensitive), and it so... |

(I wish I'd said that, but that's what a psychiatrist once told me, and I thought about it, and that's true). I'm no... |
