I'm a 38 year old man living with
autism / Asperger's syndrome
I Got diagnosed when I was 9. My brain just doesn't function the same way as everyone else's. It's been a problem through out my live. Social communication social cues, sometimes I don't understand stand things or pick up on things. I hate how it is, now my marriage is over because of this. Things that I didn't even know I was doing, my wife telling me now that a few months ago she was giving me hints that she was unhappy but I didn't see them because I can't read the signs. Now she just blames me for every, that she can't deal with the way I am. Iv tried telling her how my brain works and how I don't mean to do the things I do. Like I could have a conversation with someone think everything is fine then I get told at a later date that what I said was wrong or made someone feel uncomfortable. I'm so sad because I feel no one truly understands how I feel and what I go through day to day trying to navigate this world. I don't want my wife to leave but I want her to understand me. Get that I don't mean to be this way. I need someone to hear me to get what I go through day today. She has been my rock since I met her and now she can't stand the site of me. I hate feeling the way I do. I have people thinking if me in this way. I think I'm a good person iv got 6 amazing kids and 2 of them have autism and hate the thought of them having to navigate through this world. I'm 38 and I'm still struggling.
