| I am a "Nice gal" Asperger. I am recently divorced and now dating an undiagnosed Asperger guy he is 42. He is obsessed with women and we can't watch a movie or TV without his comments on how "hot" this or that actress is. This kind of behavior isn't just reserved for celebrities, I also have to list... |

| yes, when I look at myself, I can't imagine how other people see me, or how attractive and why. I feel unworthy of any man I have been with. My first husband was actually "butt ugly"! |

| For me, it has been that I do look "girly" and when I was a teen, I wore way too much makeup in attempt to hide myself. I don't keep up with the latest fashions, but I try to look somewhat "put together". I don't like the feel of jeans. I prefer wearing soft, casual rayon dresses. My makeup is way l... |

I had a daughter who was born with Down's syndrome, total deafness, autism and epilepsy. She was born in 1980. I had to learn how to make her thrive the she was able. I respected her diff... |

| I am currently going through the exact same problem. I was diagnosed 3 years ago. Up until then, he didn't voice his complaints. He did however, act like a woman with PMS at times. We have a 17 year old Aspie son. My husband doesn't interact much with him. Our son is very high functioning in many wa... |

He's acting as if nothing out of the ordinary is going on, calling me "hon" and "babe", asking where I took Corey this afternoon and what time we got home. I can't believe I am still awake since I didn't go to sleep at all lastnight. My boss let me h... |

I only get $10 per hour and I am very lucky if I can get a full 40 hour week because if my client has to take the day off, I don't get paid for the missing hou... |

This guy, now that I look back, showed signs of selfishness and had some weird traits. He believes in aliens and when... |

I found evidence tonight. I am really afraid. I don't know if I can make it on my own, I don't earn much and I have our 17... |

| I hope by "ending it" you don't mean your life! It does take time to adjust mentally to being "diabetic". I fall off my treatment plan a lot, then start over. It helps to make changes slowly, one thing at a time, like take a 10 minute walk when your bloodsugar is too high. Sometimes this can work in... |

| Hi Ken, It is VERY hard, I have been a type 1 since 1972 at the age of 10. I am on an insulin pump. If you ever feel the docs only see your diabetes and not the rest of you, find a doctor who is more open minded. In my experiences, foreign doctors have been better. My last doctor was from Romania an... |
