Autism

[whisky]

My boy is autistic, I recon I am too, would explain a lot, they didn't call it that when I was a kid, I was just lazy, socially awkward, shy, I still am most of those things.

I guess we're all a bit on the spectrum.


If it's good enough for Harry Potter it's good enough for me and my boy.

I have a nephew who is autistic. My mom wanted me to get tested for autism because I too am lazy, socially awkward and shy. I think I'm just weird. Also maybe I have trouble getting close to people because I'm worried about what they might think if they knew I liked crossdressing.

I self diagnosed myself with Asperger's for years, before finally seeing a professional about it aged 25. And...turns out I was right and I really do have it. I didn't even tell him about the female celebrity thing when being diagnosed (it wasn't as bad back then to be fair.)

My son has asperger’s , he flunked out of college as he just couldn’t deal with it at the time.

Nothing wrong with any of this at all, some of the most brilliant people I know are on the spectrum in some fashion.

I also have a brother who was diagnosed as bipolar. His therapist was cool. Told him to keep smoking weed as usual since it kept him calm.

He's worried about the future, hopefully he can lead a normalish life, I've not done too bad.

Indeed. Married with kids is better than 2 very short relationships in 20 plus years.

I've never heard of Harry Potter having autism though. He could talk to snakes. Not the same thing.
