| Thanks for the advice, but this has been the situation for a number of years. Unfortunately I qualified during the beginning of the recession. My wife hasn't worked since we got married, but all the blame seems to be with me not being a provider. I'm an artist, and I can't even put together projects... |

| I don't post on this site very often, but I haven't really made much progress from reading over my original posts regarding my marriage. Things are progressively getting worse, with the same issues. It's mostly issues with in laws, trouble finding permanent work and my children getting older. The ar... |

| Things have taken another turn. I had to do a presentation, my course coordinator is a c**t. I went into him earlier in the year to explain my circumstances, that there might be some issues with regards to presentations. Normally I'm pretty good, I've been teaching for 5 years. But I made a simple r... |

| I recently started back at University again, the prospectus states that the course I'm doing is a collaboration between two departments. When I start, there is a delay because one department doesn't know anything about this, instead of listening to the other students whinging and doing nothing about... |

| In these types of situations it's best just to agree. Explain you went to a psychologist and are waiting on assessment results. Hopefully he will forget about it and move onto something else. |

| Try explaining to your wife that you need time out for yourself to deal with everything & that you cant handle spending much time with her paretns or talking to them on the phone. It would be better for you if she would deal with her parents so you could deal with your stuff. That's exactly how... |

| Thanks for the advice, I've tried to see in-laws moving here in a positive light. Trouble is that if you meet them one day, the next couple of days they are constantly calling. They need assistance with everything, from finding the local recycling centre to the hardware store. It's draining and my w... |

There are huge issues as my daughter is making her communion in the next month and it's the only topic of con... |

| I wouldn't even consider telling anybody even now that I am diagnosed, I would never consider myself to have Aspergers if I didn't have a diagnosis. Even though I was pretty sure that for the past five years I had it. I don't because it's not what defines me. If I was to tell people I'd probably be ... |

| I teach and I've seen ASD units in primary schools where they were working one on one with non verbal pupils. It's always the case of "how do we improve him/her", I was only there for a short spell but really had to bite my tongue. I really felt like asking them to leave the kid alone and stop forci... |

| I preferred the Aspergers classification, as there are hugely varying degrees of autism. I don't really care too much as I haven't disclosed to anybody but my wife that I have Aspergers. It's a label and I don't let a classification determine who I am. In my case it will never be a me vs. them attit... |

| People don't like people in general, whether your NT or Aspergers. I hear lots of bitching about other people behind other peoples backs, the only thing different is that a person with Aspergers will say it to your face. That's what makes a person with Aspergers unpopular. People in general prefer t... |

| You can't really say that all Irish are moody, that's like saying all people from London are obnoxious and conceited. There are certain truths in most stereotypes, Irish people do in general drink quite a lot of alcohol, most binge at the weekend. |
