Ok, what are NTs? please excuse my stupidity!
I don't really understand what a 'social lie' would be, but I'd imagine its to protect someone's ego or another's feelings. So I don't really have an answer, I'm afraid. |

| "Grow up!" No, I'm not going to grow up. I'm not giving up on my older children's movies, especially the animated ones, and I will not stop buying my toy Routemaster replicas.

hi there,
Is there anywhere I can go that would have parents WITH Aspergers/autism, as I can't seem to find any to talk to 
Still happy to chat to you guys though, was only wondering. I don't mean parents who have autistic kids (though I don't mind talking to them either).
^_^ Sorry! |
