First, Mick Avery is probably the best drummer ever!! ! It would be nice if the Davies brothers put aside their differences and go on tour

Yeah, I think leaving the relationship would be the best thing. I know it's tough, especially after that much time, but there will be someone better out there.

Someone who's in jail for murder is going to attract chaos; and I'm guessing, as an aspie, you're not a fan of chaos.

Problem: I have had a relationship with a woman who currently in prison for the last six years. She wants to take the final plunge but how can I tell my parents? They are extremely controlling and and I can't stand up to them. They treat me like a six year old and its getting tiring. I do not think that this would be accepted at all.Some personal background information I am 37 years old and I am a male. I am going to the Asperger community for your comments.

What should I do???

To be very blunt, from your own explanation I can see why your parents treat you like a 6 year old. You need to take a seriously hard look at the kinds of decisions you make (something like this usually isn't an isolated incident)! Chances are she is using you anyway. People in prison have a tendency to take advantage of people they see as a possible easy mark.

Don't stand up to your parents on this one, either let them help you grow up or let them have full guardianship over you!

Maybe try telling her what you think instead of letting people on a forum make your life decisions and put words in your mouth without even knowing they're yours?
It has some irony that you want to stand up to your parents and at the same time look for another outside authority. If you want to stand up for yourself, YOU need to stand up.
