    that's really sweet of you, but as odd as this may sound given the bad reactions I managed unwittingly to cause amongst a few people here yesterday, I don't form opinions about people I haven't met. I form opinions about situations I have experienced, that's true. And so, as I don't have an...

    thank you, that's really sweet of you! I did try to get out, un-membership myself, but I can't see how you do it.

    thank you for saying that. I wish you well.

    OK. I'm a bit tired now, so can I apologize to you all, not just the people who decided to take offense, but also to others of you who did try to speak to me with kindness and help me. And I really think you have helped me perhaps see that whether my father had Aspergers or not is irrelevant. I...

    I didn't say my father was a monster, someone else used that word in this context. And I didn't say I thought it was due to his Aspergers. Did you read what I wrote first? Maybe you did, and you can suspect that I am someone without empathy myself if you really wish too. Only I hardly think it...

    I didn't say I was thinking of leaving, I said I might not be around for long, and that's because I'm never around anywhere for long. I wondered how anyone knew my age because I don't recall adding it to this site. However, I might well have done. I don't know any ladies, but I'll take your word...

    Yes, that could be the case, but my grandson definitely is, and so... it's not such a difficult assumption to make.

    No, you're right of course. He was what he was. But it's good to talk about some of it anyway, because I never have, or written about it, and I am a writer. So just to say it in the open is something new and good, I think. And I reckon you're all lovely! :):):):)

    No, he was a maths professor, I think his own early life was quite stark, didn't like his own father. There's not a lot you can understand about him through reading his book though, he barely mentions his family, only to say failed in or what we succeeded in. His colleague made him take out a...

    'My father had a very loyal friend, math professor woman, who told me that she saw him every day for a decade, and that even when she tried to explain to him the nature of the hurt he’d inflicted on someone using mathematical logic, he still couldn’t understand it. She said that nothing she’d...

    But actually, I am happy to be able to say my father was a horrible man, and apart from that he did have Aspergers.

    Please don't worry, all gone now. Hugs.

    RAISED by a FATHER with SUSPECTED ASPERGERS.

    I never have been ashamed of my feelings for him, I think they were essential to my survival, but my daughters were always uneasy around the idea of him, or talking about him, but now that I'm 70 and they are in their 40s, I've asked them if they want to know 'stuff' and they've said yes, so I'm...
