| Thank you so much for the concern. I do make time for myself...or else I would go crazy. I learned that this is a MUST early on. The earlier years when the kids were small were much more stressful. Photography and scrapbooking are two of my biggest hobbies besides music and genealogy research. I mee... |

| Reading all the testimony here, I can see how important that it is that you come into contact with the right people when getting support for your children. Everything in our society is so "label" driven. I have to wonder if part of the problem is that when support is offered through state-based agen... |

| Thank you AspieForty, this has all been very enlightening. Having read your posts and in thinking back to what my friend who has AS has told me, I have a question for you and anyone else who would be interested in responding. Do you think...as a result of being misunderstood by NTs for so long that ... |

| AspieForty - It is all based on ignorance in society. It does scare me that once my daughter is out of high school, the support for her ends. Because AS is a high-functioning disorder and those who have it do manage to function, sadly it isn't given priority. This is why I'm trying to teach my daugh... |

| I was on a blog recently where someone posted something advocating a certain type of therapy as "the only thing that works." Her post read like it was being spit out by a computer and made all sorts of genralizations, like people with Autism all have these deficits. I had responded to be careful abo... |

| [quote/]That's what a lot of Aspergers people feel like too... people have tried to change them, or come off as "condemning" and the Aspergers person really doesn't see a "problematic issue". So they withdraw. If a problem is explained where the Aspergers person really, truly understands... I know f... |

| Mom2AS your husband sounds a lot like me in some ways. I don't officially have AS but I probably do. I completely agree with AspieForty's post. Your husband does not mean anything by his actions & he probably can not understand why you feel overwhelmed by things. He may feel overwhelmed himself... |

| I guess I need to clarify myself. When I said I feel like I've been kicked in the gut...I never said that to my husband. That was my pain in realizing I'm having to learn to manage having two people in my life that need special consideration when it comes to communication. I guess I will have to try... |

| Actually, my 14 year-old with AS and I communicate very well. I can sense when she is overloaded and I also try to help her identify when it is happening in hopes that someday she might be able to better control herself. Unfortunately, what works with one person with AS may not with another. Now tha... |

| I just learned of this website and had referred my teenage daugher to it because she has AS. My issue today isn't her...it is a reoccurring suspicion that my husband may also have AS. We've been married for 18 1/2 years and have two children, one of which has AS. My husband and I have talked about t... |
