    Chances of having autism if father and son are diagnosed

    Hello, Thank you for your post. I am in a similar situation, but at age 79, it comes as a shock that I might have had autism as I was growing up and never was diagnosed. But my daughter and probably my son had or have it. And it has caused them enormous suffering. At the age of 55, I had to...

    Thanks Forest Cat. I appreciate the welcome. Where do we go for the general posts. I still haven't figured out which forum we are supposed to use for further connections? Goblin

    Hi grommet, Don't see why that would be a silly question? Haven't seen it. But seeing its on PBS, I presume it is well done. I taught economics on and off for a long time. But preferred other "more practical kinds of research" actually. We have to have a working economic system of some kind...

    My burnout was due to insanity, i.e. I kept working through seven different 'jobs?" over 30 years, blasting away in the same repressive career cultures, making the same mistakes, repeating the same patterns, believing that this was my only choice, untill in the seventh, the funding stopped and I...

    Thanks, Crossbreed! Boy, there are some wild handles in this group. You can also call me Badjack . . . it was a nickname given to me by this spook.

    My daughter writes that she doesn't want treatment because "autism is not a disease." I feel the same. INFP is difficult enough. Appreciate the high 5. Goblin

    I didn't think I was an aspie, but my daughter is sure she got it from one of us. She has suffered a lot. But finding a doctor who can or will give diagnoses to adults is hard here.

    There is no getting outta life without trouble, whether we are an aspie or not. That's a great beard, by the way. I couldn't grow one. I looked ridiculous. You look great.

    Hello back Pandector, Thanks so much for your note. I agree. If I'd have known in my youth that the future was going to be so hard, I might have 'chickened out' and gone to live in the woods. One thing I think I've learned though is that life is supposed to break one's heart. That's sometimes...

    Hello again tree, A question if you please. I belong to another protected forum for people "hearing voices, experiencing visions ." and the like. They have closed online groups of people of all ages hearing voices in their heads in their network and encourage members to exchange experiences...
