Re: Stepmom of an Asperger's Child

[Guest guest]

i dont have advice but think it is great that mom has come around to involve you and your husband with this child, it took me along time to even get my son's father to want to be included in any of this and we still have issues but we are trying. good luck and this civil communication is really great for the child. sherryFrom: "hmurray2101@..." <hmurray2101@...>To:

So I just joined the group. I'm hoping to find great support and learn new aspects of Asperger's Syndrome.

My step-son, who is 9, was just recently tested and diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome. Until this point his mother and I have not been very social or even on "communication terms." However, things have turned a 180. We speak now almost everyday, and hopefully are developing a friendship. Instead of shutting us now, she now involves us in his group therapy, his school IEP and any type of medication changes that take place, including doctor visits.

With his recent diagnosis of AS I'm reading all I can and researching as much as I can about the syndrome. If there's anyone who has been in my postion please let me know maybe what books helped, or any advice you can give.

Thanks,

Holly

The above link is a good site to start off with, if you have not been there yet. It's so great that you and the mom can get together and work things out for your step son! Welcome to our group!
