• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I don't really know too much about autism myself yet, but I'm at times thinking, like, as if my father isn't kinda like, autistic

Certain things I see... though I don't really think I'm well able to see such properly anyway. I don't know.
Please, could you pray, or, well, tell how to respond to that? Obviously I didn't mention this to him or my mother (I'm hardly communicating to my parents, especially not about things on my heart)

Do you mind me asking how old you are? Are you still living with your parents? Are you saved? Is your dad saved?

These are all important questions.

I'm 25 yrs old, still living with my parents.
I'm saved, came to Jesus in 2004. My parents don't believe (especially father is quite negative about faith)

If you are just now beginning to wonder, he probably has Asperger's, if anything. I am 46 and have AS. I got saved when I was 15. God can reach Aspies. Pray for him to hear God, like you would for anyone else. Also, pray that you could speak in his own language to him. If you believe in the gifts of the Holy Spirit, ask that He give you Words of Wisdom. I frequently have WoW and find myself very responsive to them from others.
