[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 676303, member: 1963"] OK. I'm an Aspie. Very high functioning. Held down a mgmt position in IT for many years. Also bipolar. My BFF of 19 years died on 12/21. I can't multi-task when it comes to emotions, though I have learned to identify them in myself and others, and to ask (Hey, how're you feeling?) if I'm not sure. As a result, my brain is stuck on grief right now. The house is a mess and I haven't showered in several days. The only thing I'm doing other than grieving and taking care of physical necessities, is caring for the cats. The only human I'm dealing with is my BFF's widow, also a close friend. I speak to her at least once a day. I've been out of the house once all week. Tomorrow is my day to get enough out of my funk to shower, and starting Monday, I have to begin to rejoin the human race. But, if your son is feeling fear, or any other strong emotion, he may very well not be able to do anything else. It takes so much EFFORT for those on the spectrum to identify and process emotions that there literally isn't any energy left to cope with anything else. [/QUOTE]
