    That's really helpful thank you. I have had to face a lot of my own battles so hopefully my experiences might benefit someone else. I know my kids will have their own challenges so I am hoping to learn from others so that I am in better position to help my kids going forward. I don't have...

    Most of what Peter said in that post is beyond my understanding. I have enjoyed listening to Sabine for years, she is great fun. When these people disagree with each other it provides great entertainment for us mere mortals.

    Thank you. It's my first time on a forum. I am hoping to find some positive stories out there. People who are struggling like us all but somehow managing to enjoy the ride.

    I had a chance to read some of the posts on one of your physics threads and it was brilliant. A lot of it was over my head but I am enough of a physics fan to be able to enjoy the chat. I checked out the blog you mentioned and poor Peter really is unhappy with the way things have gone. I had...

    That's very much how my husband and I work. We are very different in the way we see the world and what our interests are but we compliment each other very well as parents. Between us we cover a lot. I will defintely check out that physics blog. Thank you.

    I absolutely agree we can get bored by each other's interests. My youngest just switches off when I talk about physics as does my husband. All the boys find my daughters chat about classical music mind numbing. I am lucky because I love learning. I enjoy listening to how my husband is...

    There are a lot of us out there. I have found raising kids to be the toughest job there is and I am only halfway through yet. I wouldn't change it though. One of the unexpected pleasures of having aspie kids is that I finally have someone to talk to about stuff that interests me. I have...

    My husband and I never cared what others thought either. Having kids has dragged us into the social world. We need to try to seem different to how we are so that our kids are accepted. All 3 of them want friends which is a surprise to me and my husband we just aren't built that way. We also...

    I am very sorry for your loss. Your family sound so interesting. I can imagine the fun conversations you have had. I am wondering if you let people know that you were all autistic and if so what kind of reaction did you get. I tend to be very open about everything but my husband is more...

    Very interesting. My husband and daughter are O positive and very alike and the boys and I are O negative and also very alike. We have lots of fun interests. My girl loves piano and maths, my youngest boy loves art and maths, my eldest and I are science geeks and my husband loves all things...

    Thank you for your reply. I have never joined a forum before so this is all new to me. I tried to find something a bit more local but I couldn't see anything. It's nice to know there are lots of nationalities here. I guess at the core we are dealing with similar things.

    Thank you for your reply. People describe me as very chatty, friendly and outgoing. They don't realise that it has taken me decades to perfect the mask. It takes days to come back to myself after a social event. Now that I am older (46) I avoid everyone as much as possible. I just don't...

    Thank you for your reply. When my husband and I met we couldn't believe how easy it was with each other. We both really struggled with other people. We both recognised that the other one was a bit strange and we just clicked. We feel very lucky to have each other. When the children came...

    Thank you for the reply. In hindsight both of our fathers are autistic. We gently explained autism to each of them and they are both interested in learning more.
