Aspergers can be tough, can't it?

Haythml

Hello im Martin.

Chairman of the award winning Peer Support Group www.pfgdoncaster.co.uk , author of www.mentallywell.co.uk , diagnosed aspergic, grower of huge strawberries and long time reader of this forum.

I was diagnosed in my early 20's, took a look at professional services and decided to handle it all myself until I was 37 ( 3 years ago).

3 years later I decided that was a waste of time and went back to my own self management, no offence to the statutory authorities but there wasn't anything they could do that was better than me being in charge.

I just want to say I do enjoy reading peoples stories on here, Aspergers is tough and and I've been cheered up so many times by reading this Forum.

All the Psychiatrists and Counsellors in the world couldn't pass on the knowledge I've picked up from you people.

Thanks.

Martin.

  • What did i do? Oh that's easy.

    I decided to challenge myself and not pander to the "selfish" view of Aspergers. I decided to be in a relationship so i would not use Aspergers as an excuse. That was logical, or it wasnt worth the pain of having it.

    When she became ill I took 4 years out of my career and cared for her 24 hours a day to prove she was more important, I then altered my whole life and career so I could continue caring for her to this day.

    I brought her KFC at midnight when she had cravings during pregnancy, named a star after her and drove 300 miles home from a job so I could wake up with her on our anniversary.

    She is tired today, her illness, does that so I'm just about to dish out her favourite chinese food so she can relax and not have to worry.

    You have to remember that you are attractive to him, or the relationship would not have begun and it is his responsibility to work out as much as the puzzle as you have to. One way relationships arent relationshipss.

    I dont do the sympathy thing with aspergers, I try to win.
