Chronic Health Conditions Discussion and Support

their own responsibility, and in general I have known and respected that. She has been "diagnosed" in recent years with Aspergers syndrome - I'm not sure that's the most correct diagnosis, but will accept it in lieu of no diagnosis. Gregarious but doesn't recognize personal boundaries.

I am a senior, healthy enough but with limited energy. I do have the financial means to provide proper meals, perhaps delivered to her, if necessary. If there were a living situation that would look in perhaps daily, I could also provide or assist with that, though that would clip her wings in some ways that she would chafe at.

While recognizing that resolving the problems may be difficult if not impossible, I just had to get this off my chest last night, as I have never reached out to DU in this manner before. There is much wisdom and support here, which is why I stay, despite the squabbling that goes in some of the forums.

Thanks for hugs and good wishes.
