Still finding my feet somewhat here - trying not to be too argumentative - which is difficult when one is both naturally pedantic and rather blunt - lol.
I am a 41 year old High Functioning Autistic with two young Autistic children and a Swiss wife. Boy is the Swiss wife trouble (JOKE) - lol.
Actually, both my children (Rachael aged 5 and Robert aged 2.75) are wonderful little angels. Yes, we have some difficulties, but they are basically a total joy to be around.
Rachael is in Mainstream school with one-to-one assistance (she is statemented). She has some speech delay but is really thriving at school and has made great progress. She has had echolalia from an early age, but is now speaking with meaning to communicate.
Robert, currently is without many words. Indeed, he hasn't much language at all. However, we are not too concerned about this, because I was similar at his age (I only spoke intelligably some months after my fifth birthday). He is currently attending a Child Development Centre at a local hospital on a weekly basis (Rachael did also, before she joined school).
Like many Autistic males who are fortunate to be married, I am married to a foreigner :grin: . She is Swiss and one of the most caring and gentle individuals I have ever met. Irene works some nights in an NHS care hospital with people in stage four of Altzimers (sp - spelling is not my strength).
We are a very child-centric family. Our lives revolve around our children and we adore them. I do not know how we could have standed being without these two children. Indeed, I wish we could have had more - and so does Irene, but we are stopping at just the two.
Oh, come on! How am I possibly expected to not attack you when you call your little brats angels. You lousy parents with your children and your suburbia.
Thanks for the note you sent me earlier. I look forward to corresponding in the future.
Welcome! Glad you are enjoying your little angels. Parenting is definitely an adventure!

How about this? Stop trying to attack people in a forum where you obviously have no useful input to add to it and post in the forums where you can give something positive to it. What you're doing is just rude and ignorant and is nothing more than trolling.

Yes, I generally agree, but I could tell that in his own way Subatai_Baadur has respect for Noctivagus. His statement here shows it. In Subatai_Baadur's own unique way, anyway (which I'm sure he'll deny if he reads this but remember, parents know all *twilight zone music plays in the background*).

My pleasure.

I always wanted to have children... but I have since discovered that children are more wonderful than I had ever imagined.
An adventure and a joy
i am so glad to see a father who puts his children first and loves and cherishes them so much. your children will have good lives, and know their parents care.That's something i and apparently many older aspies did not have.Best of luck, especially when they're teenagers. :smile:

Now, is that an example of chain-yanking or cage-rattling? I never get those two straight.

Noctivagus, that's an interesting point you made. I am an Australian Aspie female, and my husband is from overseas, he was born and raised in Sri Lanka, a Tamil.
I have a friend (male) who is autistic, he comes from Canada originally, and is married to a lady from Singapore who he met in this country. I know here in Australia we have one of the largest multicultural populations in the world (I believe only Jerusalem has a higher percentage racial mix) with a lot of Pacific and Indian Ocean Islanders and many various Asian ethnicities, so it may just be that Australians have more opportunity to intermarry.
But I would like to find out if AS people do indeed feel more comfortable dating/marrying a person from a different culture? Does anybody else have any thoughts about it?

I found that interesting, too. And now that you've added more examples into it ... wonder if there is any statistic? Anyway, it could be that navigating the waters of a cultural difference seems easier if you've never fully understood the rules of your own culture, anyway. Could that be a possible theory?
Welcome :smile:
And *lol* DW-a-mom. You sound like my son: "Is there a statistic?" :grin: (no offence! I love my son :wink: )
As I am not that much into statistics, I find that stereotype quite amusing.

Welcome!
About intermarrying- I am aspie-female and married to a foreigner- or actually vice versa as I am living in HIS country of origin...And I think that might be interesting study about aspies marrying foreigners. Who knows? As far as I remember I always felt very much like a foreigner in my own country- here itīs more natural so to say.
