It's not impossible that your father is as aspie as you and just struggling to stay afloat.

I think it's better that children don't get labeled when they are young.


i completely disagree with this...i'd rather have been "labelled" and got the appropriate help from a young age, say from 7-8 years old, rather than feeling isolated, rejected and ridiculed for the vast majority of my life.

but no, in my head i was the only person going through these things, everyone was different to me...you have any idea how much that'll screw a kid's head up? especially in our horrific secondary/high schools where fitting in is very important.x

yeah, i'm pretty bitter...x
