Have just forwarded this link to my mother. I’m an Aspie, 36; we’ve known about it for around 10 years or so and I just got the official diagnosis (and thus the option for official supports) last year. It’s a difficult road for us at the moment because I spent 9 years living on my own… but not successfully, not really. So I’m back living with my parents and we’re trying to work out the various supports and help I need to live as independently as possible.
I only started finding the blogs of fellow adult autistics and parents of autistics last month, but already it’s been a huge help to me. I’m hoping that your blog can, in turn, help my mother deal with some things that she (naturally enough) gets frustrated by when it comes to the disconnect in communication between us.
Thank you for putting your stories out here.
Well hello and thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a message. It’s so nice to meet you and I find myself both humbled and happy that maybe something that I wrote could help either you or your mother. Wow! I mean really, that’s why I started writing. It’s a journey, but you already know that and along the way sometimes things go smoothly and other times they get really rocky. I think it’s wonderful when you have people in your life who are there for both the good times and the bumps. Your parents sound just like that and you must be relieved they are there for you. I shall be paying a return visit to your site soon. Thanks again for visiting!
