    I have Aspergers, just reached adulthood, but struggling with various issues

    I think you need a pen pal or net friend. Someone who doesn't know you face to face, but will learn to know you through what you choose to share with them. I have done that and its great. Look for someone who shares a passion for something you have an obsession about. That way you have a common...

    I have Aspergers, just reached adulthood, but struggling with various issues

    I wouldnt stress too much. You can still grow little bit by little bit till your 25 in some cases and maybe because you were late through Puberty, you may still have a lot of growing to do yet. TO find a genuine partner, height isn't Important, it's the you inside that counts. So look after...

    Talk Therapy Not Working?

    Yes my son who is the Aspie thinks talk therapy is a total waste of time too. He has been to Counsellors and Psychologists but unless t hey are extremely well versed in how an Aspie thinks, it's a total waste of time because they give you advise that just doesn't compute. Your better to take...

    Comment by 'JamesBond' in 'Why living with other people is hell for those with AS..'

    As the mother of an Aspie I have on recently come to terms with the way my son lives. He is lucky that we have the room for him to have his own rooms upstairs like having a 2 room flat to himself. My problem was the mess his area would end up in because he tends to live off the floor. By that I...

    How to Explain Aspergers to Friends

    My son is the Aspie and the couple of friends he does have that he did tell, luckily went to Uni to study psychology. So they accept his quirky ways, are happy to just sit with limited conversation at times if they visit, but basically have just accepted him as he is. They love all the good...

    People with Aspergers are not alike

It's why some manage to work in so e professions, whilst others are flat out holding down any sort of job. Depending on what level...

    Telephones??

    My son who is the Aspie wouldnt answer the phone either. He is lucky we have an answering machine. I didn't understand quite why it was such an issue for him, but now I do. When the phone rings its the fact that it might be someone he doesn't know and because he can't see the person he hasn't a...

    Friends just don't seem to understand.

    My son who is the Aspie describes it as trying to be someone your not, or like wearing an invisible mask to appear as normal as he can pretend to be. Like being a character in a play just to try and be a part of society in some small way. It's what he used to do to try and manage to work a few...

Then cut off paying for anything other than food. My son who is turning 25...

    Hi, my 28 year old son has Asperger's...

    I have a 24 year old son diagnosed 10 yrs ago with ASD. As a child it was all he could do to cope and hide a lot of things he didn't understand but it seemed nice über try set in that was all too much and his ball of twine in life came rolling undone. That's when things came to a head after...
