Guest guest Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Hello, I've kind of jumped in replying to some of the topics here without an introduction, so I thought I'd shoot off an email and say hello. My name is , I am a stay-at-home / work-from-home married mother to two boys, ages 10 & 11. My 10 year old Aiden was finally officially diagnosed as " Consistant with Aspergers / PDD-NOS " this January. Aiden had previously been mis-diagnosed as ADHD. My husband and I knew that didn't quite fit, so it was somewhat of a relief to get the diagnosis we did. As much of a relief as it was finally knowing what exactly his brand of issues were, came a flood of ups and downs in emotions, from self-blame, denial, anger, frustration...etc...etc...etc. We do not have a circle of friends. We have a few family members, but they don't really " get " Aspergers, and I still hear about how he's being rude from them. It kills me inside. So, I started looking for support groups. Surely there were other parents out there, right? I googled, and came across ones for racially specific groups, which didn't exactly leave me feeling welcomed. So, I tured to groups and stumbled across this one. Already, just reading last nights and this mornings posts, I am nodding my head in understanding and agreement with what's been posted. So, I'm really here just to be a part of a community, to be able to talk about the unique challenges we have raising our special kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
