I am a 32 year old (bi-polar) mom with depression, GAD, ptsd, ADHD and have an ten year old son with Asperger's with severe ADHD. We've been through 2 marriages (so far) and a few moves. Family, respect, and understanding are big issues I drive with my son. I just want to know if I as blind to anything or if I do a great job with him considering his social inabilities. I've also been through divorce(s) malistation, abuse (physical, emotional, sexual) fatherless, you name it if it scars psycologically I've dealt with it somehow.

Glad to be your friend Sarah - having a child with behavioural issues can be a very isolating experience and a lot of people just wouldn't have a clue what life's really like for both Aspies and their families. Here's a good website: http://www.tonyattwood.com.au/ Professor Attwood has written books re Aspies.
Thanks for being my first friend on here! I am just really desperate for help right now :)
Kool! Ok...lol...so I went ahead and wrote the longest response ever to the post you put in the Aspie group! **Hugs**
:o)
Hi Sarah! I'm not sure how you decided to include me in your circle...I don't remember responding to any of your posts....but in any event...thanks!
Seems like we have a lot in common with our kiddo's and I have PTSD as well from well...lots of stuff.
My boy is 13 now....if I can help out in anyway...let me know. I'll try to go to the Aspie group and see what help you have been reaching out for.
****hugs****
I have an eight year old son, Nick. He's intelligent (with a higher IQ) and passionate about helping others. However his impulse control and the ability to draw himself away from his own desires or toward the sound of my voice when speaking to him is frustrating. I feel like I should be stricker, however, I've tried to keep the idea of not disrespecting, and helping, not talking back or lying our main concerns, everything else is pretty much negotiable (however irritated I my get)
I don't really have the time now, but my son is adhd, and just diagn. with odd. I've been having a "field day" lately with him.
I am a single mother with an 8 year old boy with ADHD and ODD, what else is there to tell. Each day brings highs and lows and each second brings either pride or chaos.
I've spent the last 5 years knowing that my son is ADHD with bi-polar qualities, but there was something else going on that was not diagnosed until recently. We went to a special institute and they diagnosed him with Asperger's Syndrom. I have so many concerns and want him to understand the disorder but he could care less at this time. Need support of other parents and encouragement through people who have AS.
