| So my current autism therapist (Eva Mendes, who i would highly recommend getting her book if you're in a neurodiverse relationship) said she can actually give me the diagnosis and she believes the standard test I received simply doesn't do the job. |

| So I went in for my autism diagnosis and it came back as 'non-spectrum' but she said it's hard to get an adult diagnosed without information from my parents about my childhood. The did give me a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder, which both my wife and her mother (who is a LICSW) disagree... |

You'll get into plenty of "legal" fights that way.
Are you still 6 feet and 200 lbs?
Yeah, 6'3" 250lbs. I might get back into it.
I should probably start with hockey again. That's helpful to a degree as long as it's a clean game. |

So, I've been reading up on my ASD and my alexithymia, and there's a suggestion that a low dose of anti-anxiety meds may help with that.
Anyone have any experiences they'd like to share with meds? I've never been on any. |

| also, she personally hates video games. And when he plays games it's "all he talks about". I feel like this is more of a problem for her than him. He's gotten really good at transitioning from games to chores lately. |

Granted, my addiction with 'screens' (which is a term I hate) is why I'm such a successful adult. Not to mention, she's basically taking away one of the things my son and I do together and ... |

The problem is my son is VERY passionate about video games and really wants to make games and do game design (He's 7.) I... |
