Guest guest Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 I think that I'm coming to the realization that there is something different with Tommy. He's 8 years old and can't tie his shoes, he won't sleep in his own bed- he sleeps on the couch, he throws up when he goes to school or the store or a birthday party, he's not good at sports, he obsesses on subjects that interest him. He has Aspergers. A therapist suggested that a few years ago and I have been in denial ever since. I found this site yesterday and after reading some of the postings I found that we are not unique. It's okay. He can't be fixed. Although I've tried ever since I started noticing the odd behavior. I'm completely ashamed of myself for the way I've reacted to this. My frustrations take over and haven't been very sympathetic or understanding. I worry about him being bullied because he's different, but now I realize I've been the biggest bully he will face. I wish to thank you all for sharing you situations and opening my eyes to what is right in front of me. Now if I can just get over my guilt… TS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
