Hi everyone my name is le and my son Zachary is 4 yrs old and he was

recently diagnosed with Aspergers and ADHD... Now I've been reading the books

and talking to his psycologist about getting him to interact with other kids.

I'm at a loss in this catagory along with other catagories.

I know some of you have older children so if there is any info that you might

think will help me I would greatly appreciate it.He is very smart when it comes

to game systems( xbox360 or the Wii)and of course the computer.He also has an

older sister,and sometimes he is just so mean and rude to her..Does anyone have

any tips on how my husband and I can correct him( with out spanking) when he is

mean? I've tried time out,didn't work,I've tried taking away his toy's and games

for a day,nothing seems to be working.

I also live in the Phenix City,and columbus Ga area if anyone know's of a

support group or just a parent that's willing to have play dates.I've lost so

many friends,due to the fact that they are scared of my son.He's not mean to

other kids, he just doesn't want to socialize with them.I know that sounds

harsh,but it's the truth.We had him in a preschool and the teachers couldn't

even get him to eat or interact with them or the other kids his age.So they

figured out he would interact with the babies so they stuck him with the infants

all day long! After 3 months they said in not so many words that it wasn't

working out with him. I'm so lost and could use alot of info and support...He

starts school this year and I don't know how he's going to handle it,and what do

I need to do as a parent to get him ready.I'm sorry to keep rambling on and on

I'm just do excited that I can finally talk to someone who fully understands..

Thank you and God Bless
