Hi .. My names martyn and im an alcoholic ... oh .. sorry wrong forum!

Ok my wifes son has been ststed to be possibly Aspegbers and in finding out about this condition, we feel that perhaps I have have some Aspergic tendencies as well.

I do not know if I do have Aspergers, but something somewhere isnt right! I seem to be ale to hurt my wife and leave her feeling like i dont care, no matter how much I feel im trying and attempting to show her love, she says I have no concept of how to understand her, and that I have some pretty single minded interests (which is true)

Aside from that , I melt down pretty easily, I have panic attacks, and I find it hard to keep my interest in a conversation, there is more as well .. but that will do for now. anyways .. sorry for bleeting .. and hi

Martyn

Hi Martyn,

Maybe you should call AA?

Anyway, i'm sure you'll find plenty of advice and information here. If you and your wifes son both have AS....your wife will be the odd one out, poor her! :lol:

Hi Martynand welcome..

Its good your reaching out, and I would not say its the wrong forum to say your an alcoholic.

Unfortunately it is all to easy for people on the spectrum to become addicted to things, we can be excessive in what ever we do, and often have associated conditions such as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

My mother was an alcoholic, but I'm also sure she was on the spectrum like myself. She always felt the outsider and never felt as if she fitted or belonged in this world and so drank. I also did go down that path for a while myself, so can understand.

But being diagnosed and at last understanding myself has freed me from the need to drink. I do not agree that AA is the best place for people on the spectrum, but one of the only places for people to go at present.

In my opinion there needs to be more support groups who understand these issues...

I hope you can find all your answers here, and please continue on this journey as it will make a difference eventually..
