Being an aspie bastard child

Post Reply New Topic

As you know, I live with my mom and step-dad, who i consider my father. My biological father had visitation until i was about 8, but he abused me and it was discovered. I was born from a drunken night and a broken condom. My father's family loved me, but... i'm not sure he did. He, like i said, was abusive. 4th-3rd degree child abuse in Michigan law. He refused I had HFA/Aspergers, and often treated me like the bastard child. His ex wife, some red-head b***h named lindsey, would abuse me too. had a kid with my dad to prove a point to my mom, who was not even interested in him. She definitely saw me as nothing more than a bastard. So, any others like me, who got it extra rough cause of autism?

I was taken from my mother and father and raised by her abusive adoptive parents. They refused my autism diagnosis and blamed me for everything. Not going to go into all of it here but you aren't alone in this I'm sure by more than just me. Incidentally I share Einstein's birthday.

your not alone either friend. Being in that situation must have been horrible, mine is trivial to that. But still, i will help where i can. Ya know, we should start an abused-aspie support thread. Anyone else up for this? It could be a nice place in the private forum or the haven.

I was talking to something like this with my therapist today. I am a grade A, all-American bastard, and a few years ago got my original birth certificate to prove it. My biological mother kept me for 2 weeks, then put me up for adoption. I often wonder if she would tell during those 2 weeks that there was something not right with me. My birth certificate did not contain my Father's name at all. After getting my original certificate, I was able to locate her, and she wants no contact with me at all. I wrote her a letter, sent some pictures of me and my daughter -her only grandchild-nothing from her. I tried to find out who my biological father was through a confidential intermediatry, and she made it plain to them that she wants nothing to do with me.

My adoptive family doesn't know about Asperger's. It wasn't a diagnosis when I was a kid. I guess they just thought I was a troublemaker and messed up kid, but they did treat me pretty well.

That sucks.
I hope that you will despite all this still be able to appreciate the existence that has been given to you by "the universe" as best you can.

Yep, we are starting a support thread
