I want to see if I can find support for helping me explain my aspergers to my parents but...

if I do do this, the support person wouldn't reccomend my parents to force me to do anything I don't want to do right? Like when I finish work everyday, my plan/routine is exactly have a bath, eat dinner and go on the computer, play games all night doing nothing else in order to keep my stress and anxiety levels down otherwise I would have a meltdown or I would be very annoyed and angry if I get disturbed or if I have to do any more work for the day.

This is mainly because if I do have to do more work, I think to myself I have done enough work for the day since I work for 5 days everyday is 7 hours work! I just want the support person to explain to my parents why I need the time aloine to do my hobbies for a very long period of time and also why I don't talk to them at all, it's because they don't understand me! I thought if the support person explained all this to my parents, they would actually know how to care for me better and understand me more and actually know what types of behaviour they need to be with me just like my workplace, they show that they care, are always there to support me and to reduce my worries and make everything as easy and clear as possible for me to understand.

  • Hawk,

    It is all about making the environment better for yourself, so how about writing a list of reasonable requirements for home to give to your mum and sister like a HOME PLAN, TRAVEL PLAN, WORK PLAN. Then having a support worker to help engage to bring this about by dialogue with your parents, remember it is about your comfort and explanation so your world is more relaxed.

    I have always found writing an easy way to put across my views or requirements, than talking direct.
