Thank you Aspies
posted at 09:15 pm on 10-09-2008
I hate even using the word Aspies. But I want to express to you how much I appreciate you. You help me to see things in perspectives that I would miss. You enlighten me. Although you can't handle me for very long, I could be around you forever!
I especially want to thank those of you who have shared with me your thoughts and feelings. You have no idea how much of a treasure you are.
I am verbose and I know I can irritate you in that way. So I'll stop here and simply end with:
Thank you, I am glad you were born!

I won't go into great detail right now. Suffice it to say I suspect my ex wife has AS. I still love her dearly. While married for 14 years I never heard of AS. She had one brother who was severely autistic and needed to be in a group home. Her other brother cannot hold a job and has been homeless. Her mother has severe schizophrenia. Our divorce counselor suspected her of having AS, but she does not want to talk to counselors or get tested for it. Bu me, my daughter went through the test for her and she scored a 45. Before our divorce I confirmed by asking her the things on the test.
Being an extreme talkative extrovert who is always unpredictable and spontaneous I was an annoyance to her. Both our children are like me.
Even when first married she spent all of her free time reading romance books. I knew she liked online rpg's so one year I bought her world of warcraft. She played it for 60-70 hours a week. This affected our marriage and I complained. One day she said I don't make her happy and she wanted a divorce. She made me do all the work, the lawyer, paperwork, etc. Eventually what I suspected turned out true. She has an online boyfriend in the wow game. She has flown to see him twice so far.
I still love her and miss her so much. With my knowledge I want to try and get her back. But both my children do not want me to. She has little to nothing to do with them so they both feel rejected. They told me she has always ignored them and if they were too loud would make them play in their room or some other place away from her.
Coming to wrongplanet and dialogging with people has taught me that she is actually happier being alone. She was always a loner during childhood. I pray to God she finds joy and happiness. I think about her all the time. I do not think I will ever love anyone else.
I appreciate aspies. If I had the money I would start a company that employed aspies and I would treat them good. I would give them space and what they needed to feel fulfilled and joy.
May the higher powers bless and help us all.
