My dad is chinese but has lived in England for over 30 years. He still can't (and presumbably won't ever be able) to pronounce 'th'. Instead he says it as 'd'. For example 'thousand' becomes 'dousand'.

My father had gender dysphoria when he was younger.

My father is Nigerian and has a very thick accent.

My dad was the most influential man I have ever known.

Rest in peace, Dad.

My dad collects stamps, and catalogues all of them.

My dad is an aspie, but denies it.

I suspect my dad was an aspie, but I don't know if he ever knew.

My dad loves Scotland.

My father has Asperger's and he's an audiophile.
That's his life in a nutshell.

My dad's family was fairly wealthy, but lost most of their assets in the crash of '29.

My dad joined the military in the early 70s in an attempt to actually be sent to Vietnam. Luckily for me and my brother he wasn't sent.

My Dad was greatest man i have ever known ! He was a civil enginer and the best project manager in his company ! He tought me a lot of stuff and was always there for me! He was from a small town in Missiouri named Trenton (pop. 6,000) He died in 2004 from cancer now all i have left is my mom and my wife and my baby

He carried a lifelong resentment of his father beating him.

When most needed not there - owned some money taxes etc.. so ran off rather than face things, my mother with 4 children was evicted... and she was never able to cope in this world anyway.

My dad said once when I was 9 and he was mad at me, that he could just disown me as his child and quit his job as a parent, and that if someone asked me if he had any children he would say no. This was because I did not like or feel like meat pie and my grandmother had made it, and I was over at her house. They said I could have some brownie cake if I ate it, but I didn't care, I just didn't like meat pie. Maybe it was the way I said it. Maybe I didn't know how to say it right. Maybe I was too understimulated to be able to think about or remember how to say it right. Or maybe I said it right, but they were just being moody about it. Anyway, he was really really pissed at me. For insulting his mother, probably. He went on and on about how bad I had been, though he didn't say that, he said it in more underhanded ways, and tried to make me feel guilty (" bought you a CD, I gave you a CD player") and that did make me feel bad but not enough to apologize like it was all my fault. By the way, this was the grandmother that would make you eat EVERYTHING because she had been thru the depresion, and didn't like the idea of saving it for later either because what if it was never eaten?

My dad was a philosophy professor, he has 19 children and subjected me to the most horrendous abuse growing up. He found out that he has high functioning autism when one by one his children received diagnosis of aspergers sydrome as adults.
I have never met or seen him during my adult life and never want to.
