| Doc has diagnosed me as stage two hypertensive and put me on meds. I'm supposed to be modifying my diet, but... AS food sensitivities are making that a bit evil. I'm not supposed to have salt, and I'm supposed to try and cut down on the nitrate heavy processed food. Now, two things. I LOVE SALT. I e... |

| When I was 12, my parents split. I saw shrinks cause my dad was convinced me and sis weren't handling it well. Apparently this is when I was diagnosed, at 14 after spending a lot of time visiting these people. They never told me though cause they refused to believe it, and I ended up self diagnosing... |

I do 'daydream' a bit though, running through every possible scenario and coming up with solutions and points, but never once have I woken from a dream. Even those 'daydreams' I have are far more logical though. They read like pro... |

Course, wasn't there some scientist going on about how Autism could be caused by extreme male brain? I suppose any male brain in ... |

She can turn them off, in a sense. Like she doesn't really have them, just picked them up somewhere. |

| Here's a case study for you. Dad is NT, Mum is AS. Sis is NT, I'm AS. Sis has some AS traits, like feeling somewhat awkward in social situations, and also troubles with eye contact, but these are learned behaviours so she doesn't have much trouble with them. |

| Mine is decorated in Gift bed, which has currently pastel sheets, Garage wall in the rare grey shade, and road signs. LOVE SIGNS. But yea... it's a fair go better than my apartment was, that was done up in Salvation Army chic. Very trendy, but sooo 2009. |

| I would recommend going through some sort of premarital therapy or couples therapy. The service is usually free through a church if either of you are religious. If you aren't, you could see a private therapist for not too much, especially with insurance. It sounds like you have control issues, and y... |
