  • The others are right, you do need to find yourself some support. Have you looked at the NAS directory for support in your area? There is an organisation called Action for Asperger's which offers support to those in a close relationship to people with Autism/Asperger's Syndrome. It is run by a lady who has a husband and 2 sons on the spectrum so she knows what it's like. Might be worth looking into?? They do Skype/Facetime consults if you don't live near either the main office or the outreach surgery locations.

    Hope you manage to find the help and support you are looking for x
