Heya, all.
I'm a 37 year old full time stay-at-home dad with two boys, 7 and 9. I was diagnosed with Asperger's about five years ago. My two sons have both been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (my eldest as PDD-NOS and my youngest with Asperger's.) I've been on disability since 2003 for conditions that sprang from my Asperger's (Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Depression, Agoraphobia, Social Anxiety Disorder.)
I was divorced three years ago, and have had to go through some pretty significant changes as a result (and we all know how much fun that can be.) I'm trying to get myself off of disability and back into college in the next couple of years. It's not easy. Staying where I'm at would be so much easier, but if I don't break out of this now, I never will.
