My mom didn't know about autistic spectrum disorders and I was called Retarded and bipolar posibaly disassociative and anti social. I think it is happy/good when I can relate to an opinion without needing to have a normie explain what ___ means (ie kiss it better - you just need a hug? WTF!) I am going to share your words they describe me better than I cany self, your post is an accurate and beautifully expressed description. I dont usually feel a need to leave a comment. But you put into words what I am inside but never defined for others properly. Thank you.

I'm at the point with my son where it's much easier now than it used to be but the time to himself without stress "refreshes" him and he's in a much better mood and better able to deal with other stressful demands.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-34181584213860440152012-04-29T07:20:11.303-07:002012-04-29T07:20:11.303-07:00my Asperger's son is also diagnosed with inter...my Asperger's son is also diagnosed with intermittent explosive disorder but i'm told that can be due to the frustrations and extra stresses in connection with too much sensory stimuli as well as miscommunication/missing some non-verbal cues.<br />and yes, things seem trivial to you but to them it's a whole lot more of an issue because of all the above mentioned, it's triple the stress and triple the frustration :(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1527055659904040434.post-91978382877538721842012-04-28T09:55:14.080-07:002012-04-28T09:55:14.080-07:00My son everyday fly's off the handle at me.
