    Outed by a school safeguarding manager

    In a not so recent incident at my children’s school where I stopped two teenagers kicking each other in the head during a fireworks night, organised by the PTA, by intervention using shouting and swearing (ie triggered,distressed, and pre diagnosed), I was the one who was sanctioned by the...

    Keto Diet

    absolutely, firstly low carb helped me massively but the last bits of getting rid of gluten completely was the absolute magic I didn't realise was causing almost all my problems and the root cause. One possible side effect is your brain processing will improve and get back to what it was in...

    Keto Diet

    I adopted a low carb, and then 6 years later a gluten free diet. My low carb goal was "don't trigger your insulin - because it's a defensive mechanism". I followed the information on dietdoctor.com (without paying) and their visual food guides are excellently simple. Mood and foggy brain mostly...

    Autism and handling funerals when a family member passes

    There's some lovely posts here and I'm sorry to hear of your loss. Grief gets us all differently, at different times, and feels different for us all. Funerals are a great way to help the collective processing of grief and acceptance of passing (the book "Religion for Aethiests" explains the...

    Apparently I should apologise…

    I'm 99.9% sure shes aspergers, and her own stated difficulties match the DSM5 diagnosis requirements like an arrow. You don't get a female with a photographic memory, triple science and maths A levels, engineering degree, MBA, international logistics consultant, international sportswoman at 16...

    Apparently I should apologise…

    yep, it is indeed what it is, pining for the fjords. I just wanted to be a lumberjack.... (for the unaware, that's a monty python reference about the sentimental thoughts of having made different life choices)

    Apparently I should apologise…

    yes - I think that is the next step after this particular point , because - well, "She" won't be in the landscape. It's been 7 years of a long tide withdrawing from me, which she tells me she did on purpose. 7 years BTW is when her perimenopause started - so watch for that one everyone -hormones...

    Apparently I should apologise…

    VI diesel - I absolutely agree and also with your right to be you and be how you want to be and if that’s different to the social norm, then that’s absolutely ok. To my mind a supporter would lightheartedly coach us on what they think a socially normative response might be, and their perceived...

    Apparently I should apologise…

    Yes at least half of this is down to me, and my “way”, and how tactfully I can put it is also down to me to do my best - but she doesn’t get nuance or anecdotal explanations - to quote her she asked for direct information because she doesn’t get social cues or niceties (I mean for an undiagnosed...

    Apparently I should apologise…

    You’re absolutely right. And That was literally the conversation after which she told me to apologise for being Aspergers. I think we’re at the point where at least I tried and can just get on with my life more easily without her, and knowing I did my best to share the situation and ask for her...

    Apparently I should apologise…

    Interesting perspective, it is like watching someone struggling to come to terms with a partners cancer diagnosis- constantly asking “but why!”, and then not coping and running away “to try to solve it”, and of course there is no solution because it’s not their diagnosis- they just need to...

    Apparently I should apologise…

    Absolutely- and further to that, non acceptance is one thing, but rejection and disgust and telling me to apologise - that stuff can get out of my life.

    Apparently I should apologise…

    Yes to all of that, however she was telling me to apologise even when I don’t think or know or have any clue I have put my foot in it. Literally walk around like a British comedy sketch saying “sorry” all the time…

    Apparently I should apologise…

    I hear what you say Hypnalis, minimal response is difficult when it’s our first discussions in over five months. The point is to talk because - well she has blanked me out of the relationship for 7 years and driven a wedge. Her (undiagnosed) autistic trait is to overthink, answer the discussion...

    Apparently I should apologise…

    Thanks Darkkin, She’s in so much denial about her own undiagnosed condition and diagnosis, which manifests itself at her horror of me from the outset considering getting a diagnosis and then referral and waiting 5years and getting the full process - it’s laughable if it wasn’t so tragic. She’s...
