Guest guest Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 Hi, I have five children aged 10-25. 10 year old daughter diagnosed with Aspergers,15 year old son currently being assessed for AS, 18 year old son diagnosed with AS. 22 and 25 year olds undiagnosed but definitely AS. They are all bright. My 10 year old daughter has been HE'ed since March 2010 when school became unbearable for her.My 15 year old son was deregistered in December 2010 for the same reason. My 18 year old son attends the ASD unit at Oxford College and missed the last two years of school.My 22 year old son has never worked, has many issues and almost definitely has AS.My 25 year old daughter has post traumatic stress,depression and trauma following on from her husbands sudden death last year-she was widowed at 23.She also has many AS tendencies. My Husband has been medically retired since 1990 because of long term damage following an accident in his teens.I don't work in paid employment-when would I have the time! I sometimes feel as though I am drowning under the weight of it all. I don't really have any outside help and everything is down to me. I am 99% certain that I also have AS which would explain why I have always been different to most others and why my parents, sisters etc never really got me and my slightly weird behaviour. We are a mostly happy,friendly bunch,all very comfortable with each other but some of us do experience social problems-one way or another We also have five Maine coon cats. I 'm sorry this is so long and I hope I don't come across as odd or needy but this is quite hard to write down.Debby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
