I have a child with Aspergers. Life can be hard, it wasn't always that way!
There is such a lack of support for parents across the board. I was given a diagnosis and brown envelope and told an appointment would be made in 6 months.
So what happens now? What about the problems that brought us to you? Who will help? Where do we as a family go? Those are the question you have to deal with yourself. Along with guilt and denial. Yes, some people think that labelling a child is a mask for bad behaviour, poor grades in school. But I can seriously say if I could suck the Aspergers out of my child I would. Its a hard life for me, my husband and my other children, oh yes and the dog (although she gets all his love and devotion)! And of course my baby who has Aspergers.
So, why write a blog, to moan, to get sympathy? NO not at all, to share my experiences, the good because there are many good things and the bad for there are challenges, usually caused by others lack of acceptance.
One person can alone can not change the world, but together we can work on it!
