Rarely did I feel support here, I have real problems, like how to raise a kid with AS when I am messed up with AS myself...how to function at work without freaking out my NT coworkers (or be alienated from them), how to manage my depression, how to know when I am really in love with someone and what's normal to happen when you're trying to find a mate (just like in the animal world... AS made me stupider than animals in some respects), what symptoms people experience, to see if I they resemble mine and maybe we can help each other correct it...so I rarely found any comfort here...anyway...sorry if I am blunt...Good luck everybody!! ! Be happy!! ! I'll be too and I am not going to expect anything from anybody...
Good! Don't expect anything from anyone here, you shouldn't. No one here owes anything to anyone else here. This forum doesn't promise comfort, just information and awareness and other people with autism. If you find comfort, super; if you don't, such is life. We all have "real problems". I don't exect anyone to coddle me and fix my psychological boo-boos. If you're looking for that, you'll be routinely disappointed.
You DO have "psychological boo-boos" (besides real problems, that I believe you do) and I would never need to "coddle" (whatever the f... that means) up with you, the only man that cuddled me lately is actually very smart and kind...and very handsome and good in bed, also

So don't worry, I am not expecting you to "coddle" me.
And no need to answer, maybe you can use the time to relax...
