    Am I Over reacting?

    I think your family could be more empathetic to your feelings when you are present during these game sessions. Perhaps there are programs depicting animal cruelty that might make an impact should your family members view them?

    I have been fired

    For what it is worth, that father crossed the line BIG time. Backing you into a corner and acting as he did qualifies as forcible detainment and that combined with his other actions would equate to assault in my view. If I had witnessed this I would have reported it.

    #2 - Zero life.

    Sidd, I was under the impression that desire is the root of suffering. I admire the teachings of Siddhartha Gautama. I think that if people were to look at grief in the light of its true source- LOVE- that the nature of our existence will start to become apparent. I believe that in the end, only...

    Official diagnosis

    Yes, absolutely you should make the effort to get diagnosed. From your post, I'm inclined to think you something of a shut in. An official diagnosis is the gateway to support you may desperately need, including income. Get a friend or family member to help if you need it. I think it will be...

    Being and living asexual

    My wife qualifies as asexual, in the sense that a partner is not needed. She has expressed to me on at least two occasions and quite matter-of-factly, that she does not need sex. She is a regular masturbator however, and usually has something on the order of a dozen "Os" per session. I suspected...

    Relaxing Without Offending the Family

    Is your family aware of your needs? Perhaps a designated room or area can be reserved for you when you need to tune out? Maybe you could get one of those color changing LED bulbs and adjust the color according to your moods.

    What kind of support did you get while growning up/now?

    It seems to be a fact that it is up to ourselves and each other for support. One cannot expect understanding from those who cannot or will not understand.

    Is there anyone that has aspergers & children and can help me please?

    My kids are 4 and 7. I'm married. I get the "I don't like you!" stuff at times too. Be patient. They need a parent right now as opposed to a friend.

    looking for any help and guidance

    I assume you live in the UK? The first thing I would advise is to take it slow and look for ways to relax. You will likely be on a roller coaster that emotionally resembles the stages of grief. Do you have an intimate partner? If so, this will be experienced by both of you. The next thing I...

    Why are people okay with this?

    I hold that we are LIVING proof of what that judgement is! I hold judgement to be one of the worst of all possible actions and I will not ascribe this to God. I hold there is wheat and chaff in all done by and through the work of man and holy scriptures of any sort are no exception. The God I...

    looking for any help and guidance

    I found out when I was 41 as well and I also have two children. You have finally come into knowledge of an aspect of yourself that was hidden until now. Rest assured that you are not dysfunctional or 'wrong' in any way! I hope that you accept and love yourself unconditionally as you are. We are...
