News of Asperger's Syndrome Forum

Hello, I am school teacher (I have schizophrenia and PTSD). I also tutor children with autism after school. I have been researching a lot about Autism as well as Asperger's, but was only interacting with boys for awhile. Now I have girls too.

You know... when you're alone, in the woods and happy, but then you meet a family or some group of people and it really ruins your day? It is only me?

I just came back here after a roughly 8-year hiatus, and discovered some of the stuff I had posted back in those days.

I am 27 and still struggling to deal with the world of dating, especially since I am also still struggling to accept myself and my sexuality specifically. Is there anybody here with Asperger's who has any advice or anecdotes to help me gain some insight and knowledge in this area, please? :?: :? ...

I'm not sure if this will fit in here, but I'll give it a try. A few months ago I met this guy who I ended up falling madly in love with, but the thing is, he lives on the other side of the country. Because of his work schedule and my studies, we haven't been able to see each other much, I've only been with him irl a few times and the last time ...

I would just like tojump into cold waters and ask youvguys for hints on how to get along better in everyday life. What did you change since you are aware of your condition?

Let me introduce myself.

I am a 33 yo father of twins diagnosed with higher functioning autism. I went to a therapist to check if I had autism myself when my 4yo boy was diagnosed with autism and (suspecting) ADHD. My wife and I are together for 14 years and have been married for 4 years.
