The more I have learned about Asperger's, the more I realize that it is just one factor of a myriad of problems. Many of the problems have nothing particular to do with Aspergers, but have been grossly exacerbated by Aspergers (and that, partly because it's hard for NT people to understand the person with AS) because AS affects any issue involving the processing of emotions and any issue involving communication, and most problems have some component of emotions and communication tied up in them. Thanks for your comment. We need to work from all sides to understand this thorny issue. It's true I'm bitter towards my parent, but at least she tries. It sounds like some parents don't try at all... For better or worse, learning that makes me feel better about my relationship with my mom. I am grateful for the openness on this comment board. I wish it were a real forum.
