| Thank you all again. I have started talking to him on the internet the last few days. It's a little different though. He seems to be a bit stand offish and I feel so bad that he seems a bit confused. His father is and aspie and has admitted to me that when we broke up before he really bad mouthed me... |

| did you ask the son if he want to still see you? we still miss people and asking him would be a fast way to find out if he wants to or if it would be awkward for him. i dont think the dad has much to do with it. i mean his son is a grown boy and should be allowed to make his own decisions as to who... |

| Do you have the son's e-mail address? If so, you could e-mail him how you feel and then give him the option to respond. I would not send a letter because it could be intercepted by the father. I would not continue the communication with the son if he does not respond. You can write him say 3 e-mail... |

| Thank you so very much to each of you who have responded. You have made me rethink things and it soothes my breaking heart to think that maybe he misses me a bit. I even dream about him...I dream that we are carrying out some of the plans we made to do fun things together. Maybe it's my minds way of... |

| I would ask the child's dad if you can get an hour with his son, and with him (the dad) in the room, to discuss if the son would like to still see you, as a friend. I only miss my ex, and I miss my dog when I don't see her. That's about it. I'm not very attached to people. Thank you MightyMorphin! ... |

| I dated a man for a year and a half. He has a grown autistic son who is 35. It saddened me greatly to see that his grown son got very VERY little to no attention or acknowledgement whatsoever from anyone including his dad his own mother or even his sister. If am to be honest he is virtually ignored ... |

| Hi Runedk, You made an excellent point there about the three groups. What do you personally feel is the difference between autistics and sociopaths? I don't believe sociopathy/psychopathy is a mental illness. A man once said to me that psychopathy is the opposite of autism. Since then I have been di... |

| I want to apologize to the people on this thread for the really long post. MR20 has made all of us care about his situation more than he knows and I think we all just want to see him make it over the first few hurdles so he will see he CAN improve his life one choice at a time. It makes me sad to se... |

I mean it relies so heavily on certain instincts and inherent social abilities that we have trouble acquiring and using. There's also the issue of the ment... |

| Becaue they want to feel a connection to you, find out things about you, but are too inept to interact with you to do so. They are having a one-sided relationship with you. They don't want it to be a one-sided relationship, and that frustrates them and drives them to step over the boundaries by sta... |
