Are Alcoholism and Autistic Spectrum Condition Linked?

I'm considering my own ASC and alcoholism (and other addictive behaviour) and relating my own experience to our teenaged son. I discuss schooling, my own teenage years and the difficulties we're having right now with our son.
Living on an island has its advantages: small school, more attention, safer, but there are also many disadvantages, particularly when it comes to access to resources for medical care and advice.

Thanks for sharing!!🙏
I’m 56 now, diagnosed with Asperger’s at 37.
I’ve been running my whole life, saying those same words “I don’t know”…. I’ve got physical skills but not mental abilities. I’ve been masking forever now I have hit the end of the line…
Don’t know where to turn, full of embarrassment & shame. Tried to prepare for self sufficiency only to discover that relationships are the most important thing…
Feeling quite hopeless indeed

Oh no, sorry to hear you're struggling. I hope you can find peace. I enjoy reading and learning through books and podcasts. My favourites right now are Rich Roll, Modern Wisdom with Chris Williamson and Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. Maybe try something like that?

My pleasure! Thanks for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it.

Everyone with ASP has left the chat

Best watched at 2x speed. The speaker constantly wheezes and gasps for breath and pauses between every few words because he’s trying to walk and talk at the same time :/

Thanks for watching John. You should hear me when I'm on a steep hill, ha ha!
