I understand. No one is at fault. We view this as a curse in a sense. However, these kids are trying on us as parents, but they are blessings. They teach us the most in life. Once I learned to listen, with assistance from wraparound services, my son taught me the rest. I am in a crisis now, but I know there is an end. Blessing to you and yours.
Try hard for that marriage - I have raised my AS son alone since he was three (now 16), and this is not something you or your wife want to do alone if you can help it. I see that you live in Florida - find your nearest CARD center - they can help you with resources for counseling, support groups and just abut everything else.
We have very similar stories stories. I will keep your family in my prayers. Good luck and let me know if you need anything. i did leave you some advice to your comment.
We have a 14year old son with Aspergers Syndrome and Tourettes Syndrome. Looking for other parents with similar kids or adults who can help us understand how to help him grow and lead as normal a life as possible.
