I hope that everybody on this thread that suffers from symptoms of mental illness already does or will consider seeking healthcare. There are a lot of things we can do for mental illness now. The drugs are getting better, and people have a better understanding of the illnesses people are suffering with. Have you ever heard of NAMI?

they do great work. If some of you are in recovery you should look into working with NAMI. They put a positive face on mental illness, and work to dispel the stigmas associated with psychiatric illness.

Bruce, it was very courageous and honest of you to reveal yourself in this manner. Kudos to you! I also think anybody would be stressed and depressed if their father was in that status.
I actually have several autistic students come visit my classroom everyday. I have done lots of lessons and discussions with my "regular" students about them. They are amazing children and always make me smile and appreciate life to its fullest!

I believe that everyone is on the autistic scale. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. I was in a graphic design class and became friends with a person who had autism. He was high on the autistic scale and constantly cursed at people and himself, but he would always apologize afterward. When he was working on art however he created some of the best works I have ever seen. I enjoyed working with him and being his friend. You just have to be thankful to have individual and special people in your life.
Bruce, I think its brave for you to open up to the community. It is something that you could have kept to yourself, but I think being open about things also opens new doors and possibilities.

I went through most of my elementary and high school with a guy that had autism. When we were young, we all thought he just suffered from some form of mental retardation, but he always took normal classes, but normally had an adviser to help him with tasks. I later found out he just had pretty severe autism. He could do normal school work, he just didn't do well in social situations and was overwhelmed by large groups and had random outbursts. His passion was sports statistics. He always had stacks of sports almanacs with him and would rattle of players and their stats (sometimes in an echoing announcer voice 
,it was awesome)
I also have a cousin with Down's syndrome that has pretty severe autistic tendencies. He likes doing very repetitive tasks, like last summer at our family reunion we were at a playground for a few hours and he climbed up and slid down a slide the entire time. His mother also says that one of his favorite things to do around the house is fold his clothes over and over again, but since he's still very young, he basically makes a mess of them. He's a hand-full for his mother as he is #3 of 4 kids.
