| I'm talking him down from over-punishing himself far far more often than I'm trying to explain why the kids can't understand something he thinks they should. I am finding that I am having to do an equal amount of both. It takes a tremendous amount of energy to referee their relationship. It was par... |

| I agree with your advice that talking and asking and thinking is a great place to start and we've already begun that part. I am glad to be aware (or at least gaining more awareness) of my own childhood issues as I can see how they may be triggers to some current situations. I also want to use this a... |

| I really feel for your situation. Being stuck between a rock and a hard place is not easy on anyone. It seems like your hubby has his own set of issues to contend with and it doesn't seem like he is willing to do anything about it unless he hits rock bottom (and even then it seems up for debate.) My... |

| I guess there is also a part of me that is examining this because of my current family situation. I am married and we suspect AS with my spouse. We also have a child together. I see some repeats of my own childhood experience occurring at home, not to a point that I find the situations dangerous or ... |

| I, too, feel that this awareness explains alot. It explains why I am able to step into the AS perspective a bit easier then my NT counterparts. It explains why I was left alone in childhood (figuratively and literally). It also explains why I've felt so odd in my own family and questioned their love... |

| I am trying to piece together the puzzle of my life and in doing so, I am learning that there is a strong chance that both my parents have some degree of AS and/or at least enough traits that I am able to identify. The last thread about being raised by AS parents evolved into a religious debate so I... |

| Black and white thinking is difficult to apply to gray matters, especially when trying to define emotional elements that are subjective to the person involved. |

| Well, you are ultimately in charge of your own body and have to make the decision about what to do with your situation. Its so frustrating to have doctors not listen to the patient as I have felt and experienced what you experienced in the ER. I eventually became aware that IBS symptoms and symptoms... |

| I hope everything is resolved quickly and you can begin to feel better soon. Hopefully the doctors can help resolve what is troubling your system. It can seem daunting to make such a diet change, after all it is a lifestyle change. But not as daunting as living the rest of life in pain over somethin... |

| The new diet is good and the simplicity of it is awesome. No major medical intervention required because all I have to do is read labels and I find myself gravitating away from process foods to whole foods. For me, coming from a long history of medical interventions, I am grateful to be free from go... |

I personally have discovered I am gluten and wheat intolerant and that means I have to avoid all foods that contain wheat and gluten in my diet or I hurt very bad from bloating and gas and ... |

I also have other health issues, but when discussing symptoms with doctors, they only prescribed iron pills (which made me si... |
