    Need advice- Aspie roommates obsession taking over help

    Hi All, Thanks so much for your help and support. I can't tell you how much I appreciate it. Yes, it may be time to move on. She will be the one to move out- as the apartment is mine, as is the car. We recently had a group meeting with her psychologist and her mother. I'm going to set up...

    Need advice- Aspie roommates obsession taking over help

    Hi All, I need some help and advice. I don't have Aspergers, but my roommate does. For the past three years, we have been living together and this situation has given both of us a lot more independence. It has helped both of us- I can't drive, she can. For the most part, this situation has...

    Need help- aspie roommate and boyfriend issue

    Hi All, Thanks for the advice. I had a long talk with Kat about everything yesterday and I think it helped. It turned out that she was afraid to talk about things because she was afraid I would get mad. I said, "look, I'm not going to get mad or upset just tell me what is going on." She said...

    Need advice- aspie roommate and her bf

    Hi All, Thanks for the replies. I think the deadline is the best thing so far. I know that the only thing I can do is to wait and see what happens. Of course, this easier said than done. I'm doing my best at this point and I guess that is all I can do. I will keep you updated. Thank you so...

    Need advice- aspie roommate and her bf

    Need advice- aspie roommate and her bf

    Hi All, Thanks so much for the advice. I really appreciate it. I don't think it is borderline personality disorder. I'm pretty sure that her Asperger's plays a huge part in this because this has happened in the majority of her relationships with guys. I asked her mother about it a while ago...

    Aspies and Anger

    Hi All, I have a question. I don't have Asperger's, but my wonderful room mate and very good friend is an Aspie. The main issue that seems to be cropping up a lot lately is anger or my frustration seems to come across as anger to her. I am not quite sure what to do in these situations or how I...

    need advice regarding meltdowns

    Hi All, My roommate has Aspergers. She is one of my best friends and helps a great deal. (I have a fainting disorder and severe migraines.) I can't drive, but she can- so we compliment each other fairly well. Anyway, here is my question. Both of us have been having a rough time lately due...

    Hello-

    Hi All, First of all, just wanted to let you know that I do not have Asperger's. (I do have chronic migraines and a fainting disorder.) However, my roommate and very dear friend does. I thought it might be helpful to learn a little more about this disorder- just so I can understand it a...
