" In a box not a bottle" Asperger's revealed

[thejigsup]

You are lucky there, but that does not mean you do not "fit in" with the group. I didn't know that your son not being aggressive negated your life as a parent to a child with Asperger's or your value to the group. I bet you didn't know that, either. I'd make a complaint to someone above her. She has no business leading this group.

It is tricky because in some instances she's my boss. I am contracted to the center and different people employ my services and she's one of them.

I guess one's child needs to be non verbal and smoke you in the head constantly for people to think you are worthy of support. I have heard that from one of the parents in the group and now her.

 

My son only has limited aggression now that he's older. He did have aggression at school when he was young. He would attack teachers and throw furniture. Now he is much more controlled.

Ouch. My son just went ape nuts in an online game. He said his opponent was cheating. He called the fellow a name and flung his Ipad. *** facepalm*** I said, son, you can't do that . He said, mom, I didn't lie it's true he is an ....

My son finally told me what happened with the online game. The guy was harassing him and told him he HAD to play him and would not let him leave the game or he would report him to an admin. He would play cards that would preclude my son from playing and then kept calling him a nube. So finally after being bullied that way for half hour my son called the guy a name and my husband intervened in the game .

My son has a very hard time verbalizing feelings. He put words to his feelings on his social media. I was so proud. ❤️

Here is one of my son's projects from school. It is himself as a Star Wars character.

This man has really influenced my son.

The magazines in this app cost a small fortune . But I might buy a few .

The infighting between different groups trying to provide care for special needs kids is atrocious . My God we all have the same goal people . Get.over.it. A society here that does observation for parents to get special needs supports likes to squabble with our center all the time . There was a lady from the society in the room on Monday and she talked to me like I'm a door knob . I said hey look I'm never met this child before today .I've never been in this room even before today. I don't know these children .I don't know the dynamic. I don't know the routine so how about if we tone it down a bit . I was just thrown in this room and into this job because they are so desperate for help it's not even funny so let's not give me a hard time . I can walk. I don't have to do this . She toned it down quite a bit after that .

 

I am just not prepared to take crap anymore .

My son walked out today in a pair of shorts . He is really stuck on what is appropriate clothing unless it's glaringly obvious .

[annie24]

Do you mean like he wore his boxer shorts outside, or it's cold out and he's wearing cargo shorts or whatever?

He wore khaki shorts. It was like 1 C out.

[annie24]

lol, i saw guys in college doing that all the time. the first "nice" day (where it's above 0C), they're out in shorts.

I think he is thinking Spring but it is far far too cool still.

My son wants to go get his hair cut on his own. He said ," mom I need you to write me a note so I know what to say. I can read it from the note. I want to do it myself but I need you to coach me."

 

We will get there together my son.

[annie24]

awwww!!!!

 

Also, it helps to bring in a photo of the hairstyle he wants so the barber can help him get to that look.

They know him there so it should be easy. But unless it is some place he goes daily he has trouble communicating. The bank too... I recite what he needs to say and then he turns and tells the teller. Most places we frequent in town are patient with him as they know he is autistic. That is great.

 

He wants me to social coach his independence. I have to go on instinct because it is my best ally so far. It got us where we are today. College! I can do this . One day you will be independent . WE can do it.

 

He is amazing. Today he said, it is important to acknowledge difference without making it wrong and providing accessibility to those who are different.

[annie24]

I think you said that he was struggling with some of his college classes. Is he still enrolled?

Yes. He is in second semester of his first year.

[annie24]

[Seraphim]

My son went and got his own hair cut! He hemmed and hawed and tried to make excuses and then showed up at my work . And then he finally went and got it done .
