I'm not a kid, but I look back on my childhood, and I'm curious if I'm the only aspie who had a really bad relationship with his parents. Post your replies. I posted my own to get things started.

I can say that my relationship with my biological
parents is non-existent. A dad who is 62 and
hasn't even seen his grandkids from my sister.

A mother who is 59 and doesn't really connect
with her own son she hasn't raised as well for
37 years. My family was my Grandmother
and her 2nd husband. I call my grandmother mom!

Describe your parental past?

Sincerely,
Ghosthunter

Oh, yeah; it describes it perfectly.
My parents' parenting style throughout my childhood can be described in 11 lines of C++ code.
In other words, it was extremely mechanical.
If you can read computer code, read the following for a good laugh.

Code:

void raiseChild(bool hasASD = true)
{
    while(behavior != GOOD || room != CLEAN)   // || means OR, != means NOT EQUAL
    {
        punish();
        if(behavior == GOOD && room != CLEAN)    // && means AND, == means EQUAL
        {
            ransackDesk(true);             // true is the value of ignoreProtests
            throwAway("important papers", false);  // false means can't recover
            punish();
        }
    }
    if(behavior == GOOD && room == CLEAN)
    {
        tvTime += 60;             // add 1 hour of TV
        giveDessert = true;      // not deprive me of dessert
    }
}
