Hello Familyfirst, are things any better? I can understand his reluctance to go back on antidepressants but there are many types and you can start off on teeny weeny doses and build up if side affects are bad. Some will be available in low dose liquid form for children. If you could go together to t...

Sounds quite overwhelming Joanne. Just a thought and not sure it’s relevant. Do you have plenty of smoke alarms. I have one in most rooms. You can also get them that link together and that’s a longer term plan perhaps. A twin pack can be bought cheaply in places like B and M and Home Bargains and la...

Thank you bowlingbun. I realise Im in an unusual situation and I was posting on a specialist forum until it closed. I guess however we all have things in common, that at times we feel overwhelmed, exhausted, not knowing who to turn to, angry, regretful, resentful, sorry, grateful and so on. Sometime...

Hi Mark, your trying to cope with the near impossible. I would book a double length appointment with your GP just for you for starters and it will probably be by phone. Then a double appointment to talk about your mothers needs. Then I would ring social services. Things are slowly starting up. My hu...

Hello TigerLily. I’m not surprised you’re struggling. Massive changes are going on for you both. It must have been awful for you not to be able to console each other when he was in hospital. I’ve just recently posted again after several years. My husband has Aspergers and is beginning to get forgetf...

Hello Helen. What a horrendous time you’ve had and still are. I’m sure you’re daughter is suffering in her own way too. I don’t know about BPD but agree she needs a diagnosis by the right person (starting with the gp as first call I suspect). She then needs support to handle he life. My daughter had...

How are you ASpiewifey? I’m married to kind man who is losing his memory now as well. Your situation sounds awful. Although my AS husband is different to yours I get what you are saying.

Thank you all for replying. I think I’m always on the edge of being in a low mood. I had support from a very good forum for partners of people with autism but it has closed for some months at very least. It’s so hard to explain what it’s like having a partner whose brain doesn’t behave the same as y...

Not sure whether this is in the right place. I posted a few times years ago. I’m married to a man with Aspergers and I’m classed as his carer (he has got much worse over the years) and he is now starting with memory loss and he is awaiting tests and CT scan. Feeling very alone and isolated at the mo...

Does this holiday to Crete still happen? If so I’d be grateful for any details, thanks
