    We are as deserve and different as those not on the autism spectrum, everyone on this planet is a unique individual all with stories to tell, we all impact on each other.. I am on the autism spectrum I am a wife, a mother and have the friends and would say like any other person in this world my life has its good and bad moments, the bad are when narrow minded people think for some reason we are all the same, sub human.

    For those of us on the autism spectrum we may do some thing differently, show, sense and feel a little differently but we have as many strengths as weakness as most people, how any of these relationships work depends on how open minded the people around us are... I will never be a stereo type norm, I am happy with that...

    My oldest son is also on the autism spectrum, we have a great relationship, he has a great relationships with his brother and friends they except him for who he is, maybe thats because our autism core heart is strong...

    I could easily write 3 charters on this but leave you to do the research, loads of great sites out there. But one very important factor if you know one person on the autism spectrum you just know one, despite what many seem to think we are all different unique individuals.... our autism hearts our very core at times are off balance, lack of acceptance from others and often we have many associated, co - morbid conditions to also deal with, I have quite a few myself.

    I will not answer this question completely for you, but I can tell you that individuals affected with Autism typically cannot form meaningful relationships, let alone create friendships and love someone. I am sure if you Google Autism, you will find out all that you need.

    do no longer complication that plenty approximately Asperger's. I unquestionably have "clinically determined" a good buddy of mine with that too however the sole issues that be counted approximately an Asperger's condition is how plenty you desire to regulate and be keen to unquestionably artwork with your relationship with your fellow human beings. To me i could say it relatively is incredibly fixable. have you ever talked to a therapist? i do no longer comprehend you in my view for sure yet do you kinda talk on the subject of the comparable styles of issues each and all the time... it incredibly is a tad bit equivalent to OCD because of the fact which you obsess approximately issues. you're basically choosy on the subject of the issues you like and that's easily good because of the fact which you're someone too. have you ever watched the Indian action picture My call is Khan? in case you have behaved comparable then i could say i had it too.

    It add more pressure especially to the middle class that cannot afford a therapist and cannot find a suitable group support. Having this kind of challenge can be exhausting and may result to the division of the family that can only be seen when a teenager rebels against his/her parents. Life can be tense at all times for those who have to be on the front on dealing this difficulties.

    The family don't save money for holiday's but you save for medicines and other necessity for caring the affected one.

    I believe non of us (3 brothers) got autism but I manage to work in social health care for 2 years deal with different health issue and the similarities to all difficulties experience is the same. my elder brother got epilepsy and I'm the second one during my preadolescence I had to look after him whenever my mom can't. I go wherever he go. I wait for him at school even if my class finish 2 hours ago. I go to school even if I don't have school that day. I had to do all the things that is dangerous for him to do. If he got a seizure I had to be do all his choirs. I queue with him during school enrollment we go to the same school. We are known at school because of his "illness". I had to do this until the last stage of my adolescent life. Imagine doing this during one of the most sensitive stage of everyones life. I don't even remember playing any sport outside PE during that stage of my life. He is 4 years older than me.

    thanks for asking.
