Hi, i am 23 with Autism. Now my dad and my mum are not together now and the problem is i only see my dad 4 times a year and stay over his house 3-5 days in that period. My dad has not seen how much i have grown in confidence since i was younger and he still thinks i get very angry and treats me like his little boy. For example my dad hates traveling and my stepmum has bipolar, when we went on holiday to spain my stepmum was in bed the whole time and me/my dad stayed in the apartment all day. Now i would have wanted to go exploring but my dad seems to think i still get very nervous and can't cope in public.
How do i show him that even though i have autisim i have grown in confidence and learnt to manage my disability
I mean one day my dream would be to bring my girlfriend round to meet my mum/stepdad and my dad/stepmum. How can i do this with my dad babying me quite a bit
