Okay. Long story short I need help. My grandparents are coming over soon and I want to explain to my grandma about AS. My parents have tried every book they can think of and I am running out of ideas. So any advice?

But when I am myself they don't understand me and view me as weird and try to change me, hence why I need to attempt to explain AS.

Sometimes old people are set in their ways and being yourself doesn't work.

Well it works for me with my grandparents because they know I have AS and ADHD.

Some old people are set in their ways but that doesn't mean that they can't change either.

Regards, we all have to cope to our enviroments.
