I send you a huge hug. Don't you just want to give him a continual hug that shows him you understand how he is feeling. I think my non- verbal son with severe autism has the ability to throw on me what he is feeling so I know how to help him. I noticed you say "He's tired of the loudness of the classrooms. He's sick of the sensory overload." I used an auditory program called integrated listening systems and my son stopped covering his ears. It really helps with sensory issues and with this program my son with severe ADHD was able to get off 4 meds. You might want to check into it to help him be more comfortable in his skin. I saw on twitter they were looking for bloggers to use the program and write about it. xoxoxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890252727529257852.post-39303255300021456662011-06-05T19:19:19.096-07:002011-06-05T19:19:19.096-07:00Karen: I could have written this!!

I am in tears right now over the argument (which, by the way, he can never, ever, ever lose as long as he gets the last word) we had, and the day we have had. Today was promotion for our homeschool group. It has been a stressful, stressful day. All this to say...I understand, I empathize. I wish I didn't, but I do.Tina@ SendChocolateNowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04756286418593037399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890252727529257852.post-71501760289239811192011-05-24T18:12:13.542-07:002011-05-24T18:12:13.542-07:00Dear AspergersMom,

I haven't told any of my friends yet but my son has just gone to jail...for 2 weeks. What's the point of that?<br /><br />Since I'm new here i'll resist the temptation to blab my lifes story. <br /><br />But I hear you loud and clear when you say "I am the person that he knows loves him unconditionally.<br />I always forgive him."<br /><br />I get you.<br />xxx <3Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890252727529257852.post-75942686100916648192011-05-20T07:01:17.102-07:002011-05-20T07:01:17.102-07:00Your post brought tears to my eyes.

I have never thought of it that way, not when I see the affect it has on my son and his ability to relate to others, make friends, etc. Of course I love him the way he is and don't want to "change" him but I would move heaven and earth to make his life more enjoyable for him and to make things easier. He is who he is despite ASD not because of it. Hang in there and hugs to you and your son.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14934033119198457032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890252727529257852.post-19034788665868657612011-05-18T19:42:55.368-07:002011-05-18T19:42:55.368-07:00Yeah, high school sucks when you have Asperger'...Yeah, high school sucks when you have Asperger's. I haven't been back to my high school since I graduated in 1976 -- waaaaay too many triggers. I was just as miserable as you describe your son being.<br /><br />But for many of us, high school is a low point, and things get better from there. Really! I hear it from my fellow Aspies all the time. So hang in there.Rachelhttp://www.journeyswithautism.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3890252727529257852.post-36293099903194286022011-05-14T18:55:00.134-07:002011-05-14T18:55:00.134-07:00This pains me to read and I pray you keep strong. ...This pains me to read and I pray you keep strong. I can relate to your helplessness and how sometimes it does suck big time. I am dreading the time when my kid goes thru the teenage years & begins to feel her limitations more. Keep the faith.

If only they realized that we are the best friends they have! My boy goes around painting this horrible picture of his life and somehow it is all my fault. Then I get people coming to me trying to tell me what he needs! How can I possibly describe to someone who doesn't live with it or understand it that I am doing everything I can, sometimes live, eat and breath Asperger's, and still find myself helpless to help him?HeeWhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02979156046785584933noreply@blogger.com
