    Happy New Year!

    So, my Love story currently is one of my family being separated. This is a new development of the last six months.Getting used to being a weekend Dad, has been TOUGH (MONSTER TRANSITION). I had an opportunity to spend new years (overnight) with my wife and two kids(13 and 17) at their house...

    What's your Aspie/Autie super power?

    My aspie superpowers are largely focused on pattern recognition like the ability to see police cars even in my periphery or recognize voices immediately. But my most undeniable superpower by the people who know me is my ability to know where things are. Usually any thing I have seen, I know...

    Do you believe in God?

    While I do believe I would enjoy a discussion with you, I also believe your karma rating belies the notion of your being universally hated. :)

    Do you believe in God?

    The initial, do you believe in God. But since then I remember I talk too much. :)

    Do you believe in God?

    Just saw this question, is this a genuine question with free debate? I love civility and discussion, I also love to learn and experience new perspectives. I would love to discuss this with other people with thought processes like me.

    Single fathers?

    I can only speak for myself, but it sucks not knowing the future of my family ever being together again. I had to ask myself if I was willing to invest into the relationship with my wife (who loves me dearly but is burnt out on the AS) and may never want to be a conventional family again. I...

    It's from the book Dune.

    Single fathers?

    Re-read my post and thought it sounded kinda harsh. I wish I had answers that were more helpful. It just sounds like a tough situation to navigate. I would still suggest that you focus on taking care of yourself first and foremost. I have found that when I don't have the answers, this is the...

    Single fathers?

    I'm sorry, it sounds like a rough position to be in. I would say if your needs aren't met, you need to take care of you. What "post this" means and what really is sound kinda like two different things. If looking forward with high expectations, you may end up with premeditated resentments...

    Single fathers?

    Would I stay in marriage that was unhappy? I don't know. I have only been married the once and I think she's the bee's knees. I would crawl through a mile of broken glass to hear her fart through a walkie talkie! :) That's not always enough though. To people in my life who are...

    How important is an official Diagnosis?

    If I was to imagine what would come out of a DX it would be that I could be confident with, as the joke goes, " Is there a name for what's wrong with you?!?!?!?" I would be able to tell my family of origin that, "This is who I am, get on board, or watch the train leave the station!" When I tell...

    Single fathers?

    Thanks catlover, as corny as it may sound, if I had anything to add it would be this, I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn...

    Single fathers?

    My wife and I have recently separated and the house feels very empty without my kids there. It has been an incredibly difficult transition especially for someone who hates change. That being said, I have had to strive to not let myself get into despair feeling sorry for myself in my current...

    Thanks for all the replies, very good input. A lot to think about.

    How important is an official Diagnosis?

    Hello! Where to begin? I'm in my mid forties and about 2 years ago my wife started trying to convince me I had AS. I was not at all receptive to it. 18 months later on the brink of divorce I finally agreed to watch some videos on it. I had to stop watching the video 3 times in the first 15...
