    With her having those issues you would think she would make room for your issues but unfortunately as you're aware it's never like it should be. I hope she becomes more interested in your autism. My x wife was totally self obsessed. Some people mature past it, my x didn't. I learned to accept...

    Thanks, that's really helpful. I'm very new to the forum and from a different country. In Oz, jocular and psychological etc issues are kept well apart. I will learn to get used to it, thanks again.

    Shame based trophy

    I received a trophy award from the forum titled "Can't stop" I think it's shaming/abusive.The accompanying message "hope you didn't do them all in one day" I think is shaming/abusive, patronising and unnecessary given that verbosity and talkativeness are common symptoms for some of us. I feel...
