[QUOTE="gardengirl1958, post: 681455, member: 19929"] From my experience, the guys around me are 21 - 56 with Aspergers and not one of them feels like they've matured or can take care of themselves on their own completely. Of the ones 21-35, none are married and they all want to be but feel they aren't mature enough to be married. This hurts them badly. I'm absolutely not saying that this is about every male with Aspergers. This has just been my experience. Of these guys none are in full-time positions and none have ended up working in the fields they are educated in (college educated) because they can't handle the stress. One is homeless. The rest live with their parents. These are very smart, handsome, witty, and talented guys. I enjoy being around them more then most people I know. From their conversations with me about their own desperation, I have started a support group. I don't have the answers. I just care because I have lived the same way as an Aspie woman. At 57, I'm only just beginning to understand life a little bit - enough to keep me out of depression and feeling now that I have value and purpose. By the way, I think in my first response I used the word "cure' at the end. I did not at all mean I wish I had a cure for Aspergers. I believe that Aspies are a gift to this world just as they are. I meant I wish I had an answer to "paperbag's" dilemma as I do mine. I wish I had the mysterious key to unlock the answers for all the frustrations Aspies struggle with so we could thrive in our gifts and thoroughly enjoy our lives moving freely and successfully in our purposes.
