| I think she needs to consider the words she spoke at the wedding service and meet you half way, mate... perhaps if she'd learn something about AS, she'd help her son and her marriage much better than passively encouraging him stigmatising you for what he has too. I think this is incredibly unhealthy... |

| Jingo, you sound like you're in a right downward spiral :( They're hard to put the brakes on but if you look round the folk who have run, you'll often see that the problems are still there, just with different surroundings. Don't feel you have to live up to other folks expectations on how you relate... |

| Tis lovely to hear that there's so many pagan aspies out there :) seems to me religion means a lot to many of us and we're much more inclined to develop our own path of beliefs rather than slavishly following others' religous rulebooks. Seems to be a respect for other religions as well... I'da thoug... |
