It's so wonderful to have my story received with so much heart! Saja, we are, indeed, lucky women. With such a kind and loving husband by your side, I feel certain that you'll be able to make the changes you need and come out with your family strengthened. Megan, thank you so much.

He understands me so well, sometimes better than I understand myself, and is incredibly patient, loving, kind, and stable ("even"). He routinely picks up the slack for me and sends me off for time alone. I understand how in love you are with Bob, because I feel the same way about my husband. We are lucky women.

It brought tears to my eyes. It's wonderful to discover that kind of love. As other people have said, this is a very beautiful and moving post. It brought tears to my eyes.

I must have sounded pretty desperate in that comment of mine; actually, I am pretty desperate. :-) Though eighty percent of me is just uberperplexed about how I can be coming apart at the seams *now*, after so many years coping so well. Why can't I just keep on keeping on? I finally mastered the tools, and NOW I'm retreating? The rest of me realizes that I've just been stretched to my limit, and there's no more give. Not yet sure how to make changes to accomodate without throwing my life (and my family's lives) into tumult, but that will come. Rachel, thanks so much for this post.

I found it from a post on the 'Life with Aspergers' blog, and both have been very helpful in helping me realise the reasons for why I am like I am. They've encouraged me to write about my own condition and realise I'm not the only one! Thanks, Dean Hi, just wanted to say thanks for writing your blog.
