I'm new here and wanted to introduce myself. all my life until about 5-7 years ago i always wondered why if i liked certain foods i never changed,or if i got used to certain things and if it changed why it bothered me,such as a break up in a relationship.finally a few years ago in the newspaper there was an article on autism,and mostly aspergers,and it showed some of the symptoms and i had a good share of them, like talking constantly about comedy,which i love. anyway,my story in this post is more about my dad however. since i was a kid,almost everytime if i did something wrong,he would yell at me and with my autism it would bug me. i could never even today speak to him because he always thinks he's right. my 3 older bothers and younger sister said he was the same with them and we believe he is an a** and only cares about himself. about a year ago was the icing on the cake. my grandmother,mother,father,and myself were in the kitchen and there were too many people in there so i got out of there to give them room and my dad grabs me by the arm and pulls me out even though i was walking away,so as i was walking at the same time as him pulling my arm,the force cause my arm to pull away from his hand,and he assumed i did it on purpose and his hit me really hard on the back. I had spinal fusion when i was 13 but i was almost 14 in 3 months,so i gotta ve careful on my back. anyway as he walked away he turned around as i wasd throwing up my arms and my middle finger must have been up without me realizing it so he thought i was flipping him off so he forced me in the next room and told me if i ever did that again he was gonna punch me in the face. I have never forgiven dad since. he treats me like a child and i tried talking to him once several years ago and all he did was deny he did anything. after that scenario i explained,i didn't speak to him for almost 2 weeks. finally when he was in the car he proceeded to attempt an apology,but it came out like this "i apologize for hitting you "that hard"". that is not an apology. it's as if to say i meant to hit you but not quite that hard. I will be 39 in april and have no way of getting out of this house as i cannot drive due to my autism. i can walk though. I have no idea how to fix this situation and i hope you can help. Thanks.

well my mom is the complete opposite,shell. i might get a little upset with her but only because my asperger's causes me to get confused at certain things but that's it. all of us siblings love mom a lot and have different feelings toward her. My does the same thing on occasions to my nephew and niece as well. like the very next day after the scenario with my dad on my last post,my 2 year old niece was here and she got mad and started crying and screaming and my dad forcefully picked her up and screamed at the top of his lungs back at her. I think he needs anger management. I just wish i could send the guy to jail for all the crap he's done to me. he's better off there anyway. Anyway,thanks for posting,Shell,and nice to meet you.

Paul

Hi

very pleased to meet you also

If it was in todays eyes that my mum abused me then she would be charged with child abuse but in the 70s no one cared about children like they do today especially a disabled child,i think it was the mental torture that affected me more than the physical .

At least you are treated has a child i was treated like a dog lol my mother was very hurtful and actually convinced me that i was looney and no good

a demic if you will.

i was fed with a bowl, whistled at while they shouted retard come on retard .luckily it was just me that they vented on and not my younger siblings so i suppose in a way i was picked on because they could not do it the normal children without bringing repercussions

Anger management does not always work if the person in question does not see a problem.

Tape him doing it play it back and let him see himself

love shellxx

i have tried that and he got angry at me. your comment was not entirely accurate on "at least i was treated like a child when i was a child" because as a child in the 70's,i was treated more like a baby then. But i'm not the only one he does it to. my brothers and sisters have been treated that way by him,my mother has been treated that way,and as i explained in my last post,even my nephews and nieces have been treated that way. sometimes people we don't even know. partly he's like that when he is tired,and that is understandable somewhat but you'd think instead of acting like an a**,he'd just sleep for a while and everything is ok. instead he has to show the world that his s**t don't stink and he acts like he is the only one that matters. he has done that more often at grocery stores. if we can go right to a register,nothing happens. but if we are standing behind 2-3 people,or if he can tell the cashier is a new cashier,he starts throwing a fit and treating them like they are 3 years old and he'll act like a moron and tell the manager of the store that they need to get better employees that know what they are doing,etc. his brother,my uncle,explained once that because his dad died when 11 years old,his mom had to raise 7 kids so his mom had to work like 3 jobs and what not,but regardless a lot of people have been treated the same way,but they lead normal lives. but i just hope the guy dies miserable and alone because he deserves to be that way.
