Trying to point some blame away from myself.

I was watching my son who was looking slightly precarious,
my wife said to pick him up so I grabbed him and scratched his head while lifting him
(bumping into the bottom of the keyboard drawer/extending thing of a computer desk)

I am not at my best when I have a change of direction thrust upon me,


Went to a money far hoping there would be some career tips and advice,
finally got a professional to talk to (an accountant) and tried to talk to him a fair bit about
careers rather than money. Wife not happy.

Lesson learned ask people what can they do for you to get the terms of reference straight.

Do not be so passive aggressive, just because you lose 8 times out of ten
does not mean it has to go your way the next time.

Turloch not diagnosed - does being diagnosed help?

If that's the worse that ever happens to your son, he's fine.

Career paths I have had the chance to pick have lasted longer then any that were all about the money.
Looking for work was very hard for me to do, I had to be pushed.
It does take perservierance, with a lot of dead ends, but ultimately something seemed to show up.
Depression when turned down.
Careers I got to pick meant I could last longer in them, which means, for the long haul, more money.
I might start out low in pay, but if I got to pick them, the raises came fast. I was more into the job.

Diagnoses.
It might. Does your wife understand you might have AS?
Does she understand what it means to be on the spectrum?
In terms of things that are difficult to deal with, such as depression.
Having a diagnoses, maybe helpful for a direction on meds.
It might also be helpful with your wife understanding it isn't something you've just made up.

For me, knowing I may very well be aspie was a huge breath of fresh air.
My past suddenly fell into place, my actions, my behavior.
It also gave me terms to let my wife understand better, what was happening inside me.
