I was a little wary of posting such things here, but neither my stepson nor the rest of us are ashamed of this issue -- in fact, we believe that it needs to be discussed more frankly in our society to take it more seriously as a health problem that needs understanding, attention and treatment. You'll not find a more supportive group than the ladies of YLF, and I know you'll get some useful information from others here. I just wanted to offer my good thoughts for strength and support. Please get help in handling things in whatever way you might need to. It's so important to take care of yourself when you're taking care of others with demanding needs. Big hugs and warm thoughts to you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ambivalent#post-1432863 Wed, 28 Jan 2015 00:16:07 +0000 Elly 1432863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have friends with Aspergers and other forms of autism and a partner with ADD.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ambivalent#post-1432609 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 18:17:22 +0000 harmonica 1432609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your support and heartwarming comments. I'm very emotional and actually feel comforted. </p> <p>I'm very conscious about taking care of my mental and physical health. I get fresh air and daylight every day, and also practice yoga + do strength training + count my blessings every day. My family and friends are immensely supportive. </p> <p>cinnamon fern - thanks for reminding me about the climate. Ha! How is it possible to forget the "dark side" of Nov-Feb up North? Well, I do sometimes forget it... you know, it's all dark out there Thanks again for the reminder! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ambivalent#post-1432508 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 14:57:11 +0000 cinnamon fern 1432508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have no experience - but - just wanted to say that this is a hard time of year for a lot of people in northern climates - the lack of daylight can really affect mood and make stressors harder to deal with even if you don't have clinical SAD. &nbsp;Take care of yourself, and try to spend some time outdoors when it actually is sunny! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ambivalent#post-1432463 Tue, 27 Jan 2015 13:37:53 +0000 Glory 1432463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My son has ADHD.

It might sound strange, but your words are immensely supportive.

You are facing quite a challenge.&nbsp;I can empathize with your situation as my DH has Asperger's Syndrome. He received a diagnosis 7 years ago at the age of 44. I will try PMing you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ambivalent#post-1431977 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 20:24:12 +0000 amiable 1431977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I doubt my specific situation is very similar to yours, but I also have a wonderful DH with ADHD. &nbsp;We are a great team, and I'm slowly learning ways to support him while, I hope, reigning him in just a tad. &nbsp;In all, I like a good adventure, and life with him certainly is one! &nbsp;:) &nbsp;Feel free to pm me anytime. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ambivalent#post-1431975 Mon, 26 Jan 2015 20:21:23 +0000 Suz 1431975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Harmonica, this is challenging.
