| I, myself, have always wished to have an extremely severe form of autism with a low IQ. The way I am now, I am not only afflicted with the condition, but I'm fully aware of all of the difficulties I do and will face. I have wished to be so far removed from reality that I didn't really notice or care... |

The middle has extreme executive functioning deficiencies and trouble with interpersonal relationships, and a variety of other comorbidi... |

| Are you working right now? I've NEVER had tons of friends, and I hardly ever went to nightclubs. I did all right. I had plenty of many. She just figured it would offer me some incentive to go. From a young age, my mother has "encouraged" me to pursue things that I didn't agree with (cheerleading, s... |

| Sorry for hijacking a bit: How come your mother doesn't think you're trying hard enough? Because I don't magically have tons of friends and go out all the time. She once even offered to give me money to go out to a nightclub (something that I have no desire to do). When I "came out" to her about ha... |

| I'm not "rejected" by my parents--but they don't see me the way they see my brother, who is neurotypical. My mother doesn't want me to meet her friends, or to go to gatherings with her, out of fear that I might embarrass her. She was always good in a practical sense, but lousy in an interpersonal s... |

| I met my father less than ten times during my childhood. I never felt like he was my father, and I did not know what to say to him, when he visited me or called me. When I was 15, my mom had told him that I was bullied at school, and he wanted me to talk about it with him. I told him I didn't trust... |

| I was wondering if rejection by one's parents is common to people in the Aspie experience. My own father, though he cares deeply for his other children, living with him and otherwise, has always completely rejected me. He has ignored my phone calls my entire life. He refuses to support me financiall... |

| I'm not sure how I should introduce myself. Is it okay to give out your name? Well I am a 20 year old university student, and for as long as I can remember, I knew something was very different about me. As a young child, I used to suspect that I came from a different place or I was born with somethi... |
