    How do you rate the work of Mark Hutton?

    Hi all, I have been doing some more digging and it seems I might well have been right to be suspicious. There is a discussion on the wrongplannet forum about him and one of his other books which is far from flattering : Mark Hutten; Launching Children with Aspergers - Parents' Discussion I...

    NPD /ASD what's the relationship?

    @Leers Here are my responses to your questions/statements: 1) Is being a bully an NPD or AS trait? I have read that Aspies are generally on the receiving end of bullying. Aspies are normally the onces bullied but it might be possible to be both an Aspie and a bully. Can you describe the...

    How do you rate the work of Mark Hutton?

    Hi all, I'm actively looking for sources of help for my AS/NT marriage - I'm the Aspie by the way. And before we make an investment I thought that I would ask my friends on Aspies Central for their opinion - have any of you read it and if you have was it good? I have seen Mark Huttons videos...

    Longest Relationship?

    I never had a relationship until I was 27. 18 months later we married and that will be 14 years ago at the start of May. We have only know about my Aspergers for the last 3 years and it has explained a lot. I wish that we had know 10 years or more ago as perhaps my wife would have had the energy...

    Do you enjoy being an aspie/autist?

    Thank you so much Jordan. You have stated here very clearly exactly how I feel right now. (And sorry by the way if you feel I have been too selective in editing your quote.) I was diagnosed by Maxine Aston several years ago and I have since tried unsuccessfully to explain my diagnosis to my...

    Hey guys!

    Welcome Evan. I'm sure that you will find the support and encouragement you are looking for here. My family also reacted strongly when I told them of my Aspergers Syndrome diagnosis. To this day they can't accept that I'm an Aspie and I have learnt not to push the point. I hope that your...

    I don't even know what I am ...

    Welcome. Read more and more and see what you identify strongly with. I personally would recommend that you seek a formal diagnosis for your own sake. I always think that it's better to know what you are dealing with.

    Future job

    I like your positive attitude. Hold onto that as you face challenges and you will go a long way. Another suggestion I would make would be for you to try lots of different things. Volunteer to help at friends companies in order to gain an insight into different jobs and in the process you will...

    Future job

    Hi J. I'm a 41 year old male Aspie - although I was unaware of my AS until 3 years ago. I now work in a UK university and one of my roles is that of admissions tutor and so I speak to many applicants each year. In my experience many young people at the age of 18 don't know what career they want...

    Do you enjoy being an aspie/autist?

    I agree that you were fortunate and I hope your relationship continues to blossom for many years to come. Perhaps life will be better for future generations of Aspies especially if they can find partners who accept them and work with them well.

    Old newbie

    I think you've understood very well. I would love the walk you describe. I love being outside, getting some exercise, exploring and learning. Little would suite me more. Talking about avatars - yours is amazing. Where did you find it and why did you choose it?

    Old newbie

    @Sporster. Thanks. I actually choose it because 'Mr Beaver' is my wife's nickname for me because I have to stop and read all information boards (now referred to by her and our daughter as beaver boards) when we're out and about. Any information and I just want to read it and find out more. I...
