hello to everyone here, i'm vipers eldest and possibly most 'normal' child! I've resisted the urge to join for a while now, but i think i need to be on here now!
As u probably know from mum, one of my sisters and my little brother are both on the autistic spectrum. But thats not really the reason i'm here, i'm here because i now think that my boyfriend of 6 months may also be on the autistic spectrum. I seem the attract 'em! lol
some of the things that have lead me to think he may be autistic are, he has obsessions, one from before i knew him was with the band 'placebo' i don't know much about this obsession because it was before my time so to speak! Currently hes obsessed with his computer, and especially a game called World of War Craft, which gets more attention than i do, grrr! Hes very fussy about his food and lives on a diet of pringels, pizza and scotch eggs! When we have an argument he always with out ail runs off somewhere, and i have to go and coax him back. He cant express his feeling at all, and if i push him to he will get really worked up and upset. Hes terrified of doges, and doesn't really like any animals apart from hamsters and fish (which i can see being his new obsession, since i bought him tropical fish for christmas!)
i didn't realize this until mum pointed it out earlier but he finds it very hard to hold a conversation, hes fine with me, but people he doesn't know so well he seems awkward and uncomfortable, and fidgets a lot.
the thing that really got me thinking was something he said the other day, his mum was in his room and was trying to talk to him about something, and keep shouting at her to go away, and said that he doesn't like people around him, and then he said that he wished he could go and live on a island on his own, with just his computer, when i asked him if he would get lonely he said no.
sorry its so long, i just feel i need to say every thing for people to understand!
any advise or opinion would be greatly appreciated
