Bonjour mes amis! comment allez-vous tous aujourd'hui? (Yes I know a little bit of French. I am still in language level of preschool in French!)

I hope you all are good!

I am a single parent to a 15 year old, who has Asperger's and I myself have been diagnosed with Asperger's too.

I often feel like I avoid understanding how Asperger's effects my life. I know there are positive and negative sides to the part of myself that has Asperger's, but usually, I try to pretend they don't exist. Not sure how to explain that.

In the last few years, I have been embracing so many aspects of myself that I had always tried to pretend wasn't there. Part of the reason is that I was abused as a child by a narcissistic person who manipulated me as a child and into my early adult years.

I have in the last few years gone through an awakening to embrace all parts of myself. I am also a transgender man, ftm. So if you wonder where my son's mother is, he doesn't actually have one, he has a maternal father and a paternal father(the paternal one hasn't bothered to stay in contact so I am the only dad).

Not sure how much I will get on here in the next couple months. I sort of came here to look for ideas, I am supposed to be working on a presentation about autism(so why am I on here making an introduction post instead, because I don't want to do my homework! Not to worry I will get it done, I won't be able to sleep till I do, dumb brain will worry about it all night otherwise!)

Not sure what else to post here so I guess I am done. I never know how to end a conversation, so I just will.

Welcome to WP. And certainly the best to you and your son on managing your respective diagnoses.

Sorry, I don't understand; I thought that putting off my chores was why WP had been invented (he says, glancing at the pile of dirty dinner plates.) :wink:

Thankfully, we have a Homework Excuse thread for assistance with just this kind of situation.
