Guest guest Posted June 19, 2009 Report Share Posted June 19, 2009 I have hit my wall with my 13 yo aspie he is our only and so isolated and has decided to take over the house! He wants to be the matriach and last I looked i had that job, he wants to cook, clean, do laundry now before you say what are you complaining about it is on his terms only, he stops me from making meals, cleaning up and then does it only when he feels like it. It is a daily battle and is escalating I came home yesterday and he had nailed pots and pans all over my walls in the kitchen. He won't go to bed either he stays up most nights until 1 and then gets up at 6 ish. I am losing it. I really feel like i need a break from him and all his fighting and bullying. I understand he has no other outlets so he is hyperfocusing on the home but it just does not work. He refuses to talk to counselors we have tried many times and became suicidal on prozac. I was looking into Talisman a summer camp for Aspies, in NC very expensive but looks great anyone heard of it tried it, can recommend any others? He has never spent the night away other than grandma a handful of times in his life and he still does not have a friend in the world but I think something like this may give him the confidence he needs. I like a previous poster am menopausal and have much less patience , what a cruel combo kids hormones and moms hormones converging not an ideal combo. thanks for allowing me to vent and open to camps suggestions, east coast ideal.
