Guest guest Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Sarwat, (or Amina) Please do not back away. I am not sure what it is you said, but there are folks who are afraid you may not come back! I know that we all want to hear from you, and are thinking of you! I didn't realize that you were having an MRI! That is a good thing! Did I ever tell you that I use a cane to walk and, if I need to go grocery shopping for food, etc., I use an electric "scooter"? I care not a whit what people think about my disabilities. What I do care about is the fact that there are things that can help me do the things that I wish to do. I do care that there are medicines that can also help relieve the pain. And I care GREATLY about the people on sites such as this one who are so supportive! So, please join us and enjoy some brand new friendships! Most sincerely, Carole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Oh, dear, Cam, I'm afraid she changed it because I said " fatal attraction " is not a name! Sarwat, I'm afraid we older folks shock more easily than the young, and as survivors we have no use for death! Please understand that you are very welcome here. You say you like the name Sarwat. Perhaps you could make Sarwat your name on the forum? This is not to say you can't be real with us, and if sometimes you are feeling desperate we want to know. But using " death!!! " as a screen name is kind of " in-your-face " . Warmth and life to you, Sharon [ ] Re: Control I do also hope that you will consider > removing " death!!! " from your by-line. It may be a lack of cultural > understanding on my part or simply my advancing age....but it shocks > and upsets me and I know others probably feel likewise. > > Again, welcome, Cam > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 We tried sports multiple times but it was not until this year, at 10, that my son has been able to handle basketball with A LOT of help from a fabulous coach. He still has some problems but we made it through the year and started on a second league. This second one has been the best thing yet...he has the same coach but his other team is split up, along with other children from the same school district. He is playing against kids he knows and has gone to school with which has really increased his awareness of the other team's not being the "bad" guys. Also, the refs are the highschool and middle school coaches so he knows that he may someday be playing on their team so they are not "out to get him" which is what he so often thought before. I have been sooooo happy with his success in basketball this year. Good luck!!From: jm.smoldt <jm.smoldt@...>Subject: ( ) Re: Control Date: Saturday, April 17, 2010, 10:46 AM My son has this problem as well, and isn't in any sport yet. He wants to play y basketball next year, but I am worried that it won't work out. I feel for ya and hope someone else has some answers on here. > > My son was diagnosed in 2008 with Aspergers and ADHD. Recently he started soccer and obviously his social skills are not there. He starts to spit, call names, etc. He is very hard to control and I end up losing it...I start to get upset and eventually cry. What do I do to help him get in control? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Of course, as soon as I post this, he has a meltdown at basketball. His dad (who lives 2 hours away) came to his game so that was one difference...another kid on the team broke his foot, thus throwing off their rotation(this league has a set rotation every game)...result...horrible meltdown...crying, pounding the floor with his fists, just freaking out in general...I hate meltdowns. He was just miserable and left the game with the attitude that they would lose the rest of their games...They'd been undefeated until last night. I wish there was a way to make things easier. :(From: jm.smoldt <jm.smoldt (DOT) com>Subject: ( ) Re: Control Date: Saturday, April 17, 2010, 10:46 AM My son has this problem as well, and isn't in any sport yet.
