My Dad and my eldest brother (15 years older) are also aspie, so its fairly normal for me!
Having a few problems with J, my aspie friend at the moment. He has fallen in love with a close mutual friend, who is married with 3 kids.. He misread all the signals, and his desire for love and affection (he doesn't get much at home as his mum has no idea how to live with an aspie really) has lead him to believe its romantic love.. Its terribly hard, and the mutual friend is in peices about it and has no idea how to handle it all.. J won't speak to me about it, so I can't help him rationalise it all and help heal the situation..
The suicide line of thought from your SO is so very typical isn't it.. It makes sense in a very black and white, incredibly logical way.. but us "normies" (as my aspie friends like to call us non-aspies!) have learnt lessons through our lives that make us know that its not all black and wite like that..
One the aspie board I use, there is always long discussion on the fact they actually, they're the "normal" people, as they think logically, and its us who let emotions cloud our feelings who are "wierd".
Sorry, kind of gone off on a rant there!
Oh, and SSRI weigt gain is the PITS.. the utter pits. I'm a year clear of meds now, but the weight just won't shift. I eat no more than the skinny girls at work, but I am just a fat whale..
Your weekend sounded awesome by the way.. so so nice!! *g*
