    Autism and Grieving

    My wife recently lost her Grandmother and she can't handle it. It has caused her to become very angry. To help I look up things and find nothing useful. So I yell at her out of frustration and accuse her of abusing me because she raised her voice. All this does is cause her to cut herself...

    sonohysterogram

    I will make sure she reads all the advice you nice folks have left. She does have a female doctor and I will be with her during the examination. She almost feels like she needs permission from someone to allow her to get undressed but doesn't have a clue as to who it has to be. I'm hoping...

    sonohysterogram

    My wife is on the spectrum and we are trying to have a child. She was told by her doctor that she needs to get a sonohysterogram. Her problem is that she was never told as a child that it was ok for doctors to examine her undressed. Now as an adult she still has that stuck in her head and that...

    Not sure what to do for my wife

    My wife is 28 yrs old and has been doing her nightly ritual for as long as she can remember. She cleans her face and combs her hair then brushes her teeth before bed. Starting about 2 or 3 weeks ago she has had a very hard time getting herself to do her night time ritual. She has done self harm...

    Do you ever feel like your never gonna be good Socially?

    I find it really (i guess) shocking that you said that about the funeral services. My wife has also said just about the exact same thing. The first time she said that i didn't quite understand the reasoning for it but i do now. She thinks she would feel safer around the dead because they can't...

    Need Help with Haircut

    Thank you Peter that is great advice. She might not be as scared if she can get to meet the person beforehand. She likes having a picture of things in her mind so the don't seem as scary.

    Need Help with Haircut

    thank you all for taking the time to advise me. So far though none of these have been something she is really liking. She did suggest i post a picture of our dog after i've cut it's hair so you all would know why me cutting hers would be a no no.

    Need Help with Haircut

    She hasn't had her hair cut in over 4 years and she desperately wants it cut. My wife gets very uncomfortable with someone messing around her face. She doesn't do well with small talk and she has really bad self esteem. i think she feels like she is being put on display and everyone will be...

    I don't think I can live anymore

    You aren't a loser. i bet you are a very sensitive person. My wife sometimes feels the way you describe and wants to hurt herself ( she has autism also). She was bullied and still has emotional scars from it. You aren't alone even though you may feel that way. I wish you had someone in your life...

    Need Meltdown Advice

    She said she has always been this way and people always thought she was just being difficult.

    Need Meltdown Advice

    Thank you both for replying. Posting this thread was part of what actually helped her calm down I think. I personally don't have a way to release my stress and that becomes a problem when she needs me. She doesn't have a safe way to get rid of stress. She uses cutting as a way to deal with...

    Need Meltdown Advice

    My wife (28) was diagnosed ASD last year. We are both having a hard time dealing with aspects of the disorder. She has a hard time with empathy and dealing with or understanding others feelings. She had a meltdown today because I gave stupid advice on a thing she was needing help with. I was...
