Hello, and welcome to the forums. One thing that you need to know is that terms like Asperger syndrome do not accurately describe anybody. I can assure you that I myself am weird, at least weird enough that I do not fit into typical society the way most people do. But yet trying to describe me with...

Erm, has he ever checked his sugar at the time of a meltdown? I know you said that the diabetes is under control, at this point anyway, but blood sugar has really serious effects on the brain. Diabetics can seem literally psychotic when their sugar gets low, but only for that time. I don't think so...

Nightsun thank you so much for your insight. Yes the meltdowns are a big problem. We haven't had any legendary ones in awhile, but woosh there have been some big ones where you just couldn't...I couldn't get him to calm down. He seems to really react even more when I cry or am shocked. That fear loo...

Thank you sunshower for responding. :D You both have really helped and are opening my eyes in so many ways. I'm seeing that you have a point about the slow changes...*nods* I think the main problem is that my diet doesn't match his exactly, and I cook for him, but I don't eat that food. I really eat...

Luckily he loves my cooking and my cooking is all healthy, I myself am on a weight loss journey I've lost 80 pounds so far. We both have a lot of changes. He is a vegetarian, he has recently cut out cheese as that...

About your boyfriend, I believe that the first thing that should be focused on is the diabetes. Diabetes can lead to blindness, kidney failure that will result in dialysis and a possible kidney transplant, and even amputation of the foot if not properly taken care of.

I only want to help him. A bit of background information: My boyfriend is 42, I'm 31. He has...
