So it was Aspergers Syndrome all along? His sweet boyishness, his tantrums, and most of all, the puzzled look on his face, when I tried to communicate with my Aspie boyfriend. I had fallen in love with a boy, as time went on, it got worse and I was exasperated, hurt and felt sorrow all over again, for my brother John.

John had taken his life at age twenty one, left me feeling so guilty for not having understood whatever had troubled him so many years ago. If only I could go back, with what I know now.

Strange how fate keeps showing up; in the least expected places. Another chance at making things right, do you think? I don't know for sure, I'm just here to get some feedback about "Where do I go from here?"...because when we become aware it's about autism...love becomes very important. That kind of love is not like any other kind of love, its so selfless, it is THE most challenging of all.
To be continued.....

I take it you want to be a writer. If not, you should. Your very good.

Welcome to WP.

Wait... let me get this straight: you had a brother named John, who was an Aspie. He commited suicide when he was 21 because he always felt misunderstood. You have a boyfriend who also has Asperger's, but you don't want him to commit suicide like your brother did, and you want to know how to communicate to him that you love him. Am I understanding your post correctly?

Yes, my aim is to understand Aspergers Syndrome, so I can tell when and how I can communicate effectively, without taking it personally, or feeling any backlash in a relationship.
