Im trying to think what I would say to my best friend in that situation. I think if you are a true friend, you are morally obliged to speak your mind. It may hurt her, and she may feel angry at you.

Then tell him you have this book that gives a great explanation of what AS is, Tony Attwood's The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome . heretolearn, there is a chapter in it that deals with NT children dealing with AS parent/s, especi...

I think my dad is undiagnosed Aspie. Im 39 single mum, I think Im NT. Ive moved back home with my mum and dad temporarily, and my knowledge of my dad's (probable) developmental disorder is hard to live with. I feel a certain responsibility to discuss my findings with him. I feel it might explain for...
