Any problem with family members?
I'm already 50+, when I was young, asperger was never known. Even though I did show some signs of weirdness and differences with other people, which I'm sure my family members did notice, but they never seemed to bother, or tell me how really different I looked or teach me how to be like other people. Never. They only did tell me don't say like this and that to other people, but what should I say or how should I act then? Want to teach me, teach me fully and properly, what does the ways of just stopping me from talking do? It just makes me feel more to be a quiet, shut-up person. They treat me like a nobody, but yet only when they needed help, they'd ask me to help them. Only my mum was very loving to me.
I couldn't get through well in my studies. I hated life. If not for mum, I think I would have thought of ending my life immediately. I did think of it though, but as I said, my mum held on my life until today. My wife was introduced to me by my mum. Now both my wife and mum has just passed away a few years ago. I might find life meaningless to go on again. Life is really tough for me as an aspie.

Our mothers did their very best to prepare us for later on, and now we can honor them by doing the very best we can. Life was tough for them also.
