Hi Alyson,

You are not alone in your thoughts and feelings – I can relate to all you have written and would love to talk via email sometime – a mum of a son whose diagnosis of Aspergers at 3 years of age opened up a whole new world of recognition and understanding for my own life (and that of my husband and the majority of our family members) – so that hopefully now we can better understand our son and help him where we all had none!!

Hi there,

Thank you for your honesty. Wow,many of your experiences are experiences that I can relate to and now I acknowledge that my children and grandchildren are experiencing.

Do you have children and grandchildren who experience the same problems?

Alyson, Thank you for publishing your story. Many of your experiences resonate with me. I’ve never been diagnosed with Aspergers or indeed any ASD condition but I was reading through your story and going “uh huh, mmm hmmm, yep, I can relate, wow is this person reaching into my brain and pulling out my thoughts!?!?”

I am lucky in that I have a very patient and tolerant wife who just rolls her eyes when I get into one of my “grumps” or down periods and leaves me to reset myself. Because of her support the resetting now takes hours instead of the days or weeks it used to take.

Thank you again. Blessings to you!

Alyson,
For some of us, you’re normal and everyone else is weird. Thanks for being so open; reading your story makes me feel a little bit less of a misfit. Hopefully, reading this comment will make you feel a little bit less of a misfit. [note: the asplanet link from your name has a typo].

Thank you Alyson. I appreciate your generosity in sharing stories about life can be for you. I learn so much about how the world can be experienced in different ways for different ‘humans’ from reading and listening to stories from you and others on the spectrum. It seems such a big ask: not only to do your best to live in a world arranged from a non-spectrum perspective, but also to be asked to explain how it’s different for you, to ‘mainstream thinkers’ who struggle to get it.
