| For a long time, I didn't want family. Then I met the woman who is now my wife, and she had two wonderful children. It is hard. Marriage with an NT is hard, and raising NT kids as an Aspie has proven very challenging for me, but they are also my world. I would never have envisioned my life turning o... |

| While I wish I had some life-altering advice, I am just posting to commiserate and to thank you for posting this. I thought it was just me, that I was the only one who turned into super-aspie right before my period. I have a sensory room in my home, where I keep a weighted blanket and black curtains... |

| Thank you all for the replies and encouragement. I would be glad to keep you posted on future books as long as it is okay with the mods here to do so. I am glad people can relate to the book. It was scary for me to share it here, because the autobiography is really just baring my soul to all of you ... |

| I'd like to know a lot about the male portion of my audience. How do you differ from females in terms of AS in your opinion. I know what life is like for me, what is it like for you? My future books will be for both genders and will cover topics like finding the right professionals, marriage, parent... |

| I've definitely experienced this. I was obsessed, very obsessed with baseball cards for more than a decade. I would organize and reorganize them, memorize the stats, everything. I would get in trouble for taking them to school and even had my own booth at a flea market where I sold them. Then my Gra... |

| I agree with a lot of the comments here. I just published a book about women on the spectrum and one of the many differences between many of us and many males on the spectrum (but of course not all of either) is that females tend to be brought up to be social creatures. It is a societal norm, so for... |

| While there were moments and incidents in the end, it sounds as though you have made it through fairly intact. It sounds a lot like when I had to go to my wife's family reunion. While not as long, it was so overstimulating and I was worked up before we even left. I find that asking as many questions... |

| I have read the rules and find them a bit gray as to whether I can post this, so mods please feel free to delete if you feel that it is not appropriate. I am writing about a book I wrote, but it is specifically about Asperger's and surviving and thriving with the diagnosis and is not a multiple post... |
