Worried

Hi All

I decided myself to get a diagnosis this year stopped when was offered a formal diagnosis or counciling was told i would be low end and either option had little benefit. I have a 2.5 year old son who has just been sent to speech therapy, he also has some other traits lining up vehicles hand flapping a little and repitition. I only found out about these traits tonight have not totally told wife yet.

Quesions if he is like me

1. Will i be a good influence or bad? Am i the best person or worst in helping in situations.

2. What can i do to make him better than me?  I fake majority of social interaction.

3. How can i make my NT wife better prepared do i explain i analize everyone i meet and then consider there motives. That i need to understand everything i enjoy doing down to finite level. That the only way i am enjoying a party is if i have managed to dumb my senses down enough not to care or i can talk about my specialised subject all night with someone. Talking about my differences is dam awkward.

Best explination i can come up with

I dont dislike people its just i have not understood the parameters of our conversationand your original question query random fact is wrong and needs to be explained correctly. Im am really annoying at this but misinformation and incorrect facts being spouted annoy me so dam much. Still need to improove on this any suggestions here?

General Question

1. Could his condition be worse than mine?

If i have written anything wrong or said something inapropiate it is not my intention. I just am in a head mess about this.

  • I don't know if I've been a good or bad influence on my two children (one NT, the other showing slightly more AS traits, but probably sub-clinical).  Hopefully I've been a reasonably positive influence, but really I've just been me, and my (probably aspie) wife just her.

    They've both just about made it to adulthood & seem fairly happy in their career/education choices.

    One of them now as an Aspie partner (who was instrumental in me deciding to go for diagnosis), so at least she treats AS as normal!
