my relationship has broken down due to me being ill and finding relationships hard anyway. i have always found relationships hard and with me being ill at the minute, it has become really hard for me i cant cope and i want her but at the same time i cant cope with her being with me. i just dont know what to do with myself. i have so many problems at the minute and she suffers from adhd and deprsseion among other things and it is so hard for me. have any of you found relationships hard, confusing, testing or just really hard work???

I don't know because I haven't had a relationship. I have high functioing Autism so relationships actually I hate them, but I thought I'd post just so you could get some kind of response. SOrry you're sick at the moment; so am I...

I mean intimate relationships I hate... It just depends on the person, the level, etc. but I don't like people touching me and stuff like that. It overstimulates me.

Relationships are really hard, actually...even for NTs. My husband is HFA and I am NT (for the most part) and I would say our marriage has been all of those things that you listed: hard, confusing, and testing at times.

My HFA daughter is like Kris in that she avoids close relationships also. She seems "okay" with me and her sister, but is often aggressive toward other family members or avoids them completely. She doesn't really have friends either. I wonder what she will be like as she gets older, but I don't think relationships will be much easier for her then.

ya relationships are really hard. the same thing happened to me. i have so many problems including aspergers, i had brain surgery, partially blind, i have seizures, and i am depressed. if you just take a minute to step back and take a minute and think it can help. maybe talk to the person you are having a problem with and try to stay calm. if both of you understand what is going on then maybe both of you can fix it.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
