Do you have any regrets?
For me I wish I had been nicer to my parents when they were alive, nicer to people generally and tried not to be rude on occasions.
When my Dad was alive. He was nearly 66 and was a bit unsteady on his feet. He lived alone. My Dad had asked me if I could be his carer. My Mum had died a few years before so I
couldn't ask her and I asked my
Aunt. She said I couldn't be. I just took her word for it, maybe as I have aspergers. Looking back I wish I had tried to find out from maybe my GP, the Council or Citizen's Advice Bureau. My Dad had a stroke and
died in hospital,
I can't change the past but I think about situations and how I could have behaved differently. And I try to be nicer generally to people and not rude.
Also there was a trainee social worker who I a few years back, when I was staying in a homeless hostel. We used to get on really well and share a laugh! Maybe due to my aspergers that I didn't know I had back then
and she didn't know, I reacted in a way about something that I regret, I was younger and didn't know how to deal with being upset, got very annoyed and left the hostel without maybe seeing if we could have
became friends or possibly boyfriend girlfriend in the future. There was another woman at the charity drop-in I attend for aspergers (I only got diagnosed for aspergers when I was 29). at times I was frustrated and
think I could've handled things better looking back, and even when I wasn't frustrated I think I could have chatted with her more, I think possibly we could have ended up being boy and girlfriend or just
friends.
I'm happy for couples but seeing them on tv makes me sad about my regrets.
At least the woman from the autism charity knows I have aspergers, the
woman from the hostel didn't know this, I think if we didn't become boyfriend girlfriend we could have been really good friends.
I of course hope those two women will be really happy.
