'The pain of isolation...'

Deleted user

Interesting article, I think.

'Why would a person with Asperger's feel driven to suicide? To me, the answer to this is obvious. The need to bond with others is a basic human need. The very definition of Asperger's is to have trouble fulfilling that need. So why is it surprising that someone with these difficulties might fall into despair?'

    Interesting. I don't really despair that I'm isolated, generally being on my own feels better than having friends and a girlfriend. I get frustrated more with the fact I can't go out, work, etc. I can see why a lot of people choose to go before their time. Life is hard and there's little to no support out there for an autistic adult. This forum is the best resource I have found so far.
