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.

    .. I bought her an OMG mug last month and last week I went on my bicycle to buy her a large bag of compost she wanted....I like to cook for her too....

    That is what I'm talking about. My Wife has to accept I detest the commercialisation of things so I will not buy a card, but I grew the strawberries she ate watching Wimbledon today myself. I have to accept certain traditions have to be upheld so I am given a list. 

    I don't go "off list" as Sarah Millican says. i am given an option of presents on a list and stick to it, it removes the anxiety.

    Jacq tells me exactly which flowers ( hint hint) are in Season and the arrival of them in the house may lead to her cooking my favourite food.

    I'm not perfect, but I'm a tryer.
