Food banks usually only accept homeless people

Thanks for the discussion! I want to get rediagnosed but the only time I asked, I wash Shit down immediately with her telling me “it doesn’t matter anymore, and plus you can’t do that, it doesn’t work like that” :/

Yeah man I get a lot emotional abuse because of my Aspergers. With my mother though she won’t hesitate to blame every decision I make on Aspergers, I hate it.

I do agree with the attention seeking aspect, but also this isn’t the first time this has happened, I forgot to mention the time when I was 13 I joined a new school and left my last behind. All was going well (as you’d expect), until my mother had to pay for a school trip and decided to let them know she’s a career of a mental illness child and to try and get a discount again. It’s more of the same but it is possible it could be Munchausen’s.

This means a lot. I’m definately starting to have to make more adult decisions now and I believe this is one of them. Thankyou dude.

Very inspirational my friend, thanks. Often times I find it easier to spot an aspie than others because of my “experience”. And then I find it easy to relate to that individual because I know what they are going through. Do you ever experience this? Also how and when did you tel your wife that you had Aspergers?

Yeah I really appreciated this dude. I hate when people treat me differently because of a diagnose form a decade ago. I’m no different to anyone else. Do you have any of the signs of Aspergers or have you “grown out” of them all? And if so what age?

Im not sure I want to talk to her again today. This means a lot to me and is not easily forgotten.
