hugs and kisses

[Guest guest]

hello my son has always had a thing about being touched hardly a hug and

especially not a kiss. He is now taking metedate cd and yesterday he ran up to

me and gave me a hug, it felt so good even brought me to tears. as much as Iam

against these stimulant meds they do help, at least for a short time. but iam

still so scared of the serious side effects these meds can cause. but the hug

was so nice., sorry if this seems odd but to me it's a big step for my son

Hi Aw I would have been crying too, that must have been a great milestone for both of you. I know my Son's Girlfriend's Mum told me that Marissa doesn't show her emotions very much and will cringe if you go to give her a hug, but she is so loving towards my Son, they are always cuddling and kissing, so this too is a milestone for her. If I'm on the phone to her at the end of the conversation I always say " Love you" and she tells me the same, she is like a Daughter to me and I treat her the same as my two children we have accepted her into our family with open arms, even before we knew she had Aspergers we took to her straightaway.I hope the hugs and kisses continue x CarolynFrom: <amandabeneteau@...> Sent: Fri, 11 February, 2011 14:12:59Subject: ( ) hugs and kisses
