Guest guest Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Hi all. My name is . I am a single parent of 3 children. My oldest has mood disorder, ADD and OCD. My youngest (7) has classic autism. My middle son (10) was just recently diagnosed with Aspergers. I knew for a long time (since my youngest was diagnosed at 4) that my son was most likely aspergers, but I just never went through the diagnostic process until recently. He has an IEP and is classified as learning disabled. He's done ok thus far. He is one grade behind that he should be, and struggles in school. He was finally invited to his first birthday party about a month ago, but has NO friends. He never gets invited for a play date, and never brings home a phone number from school for someone that wants to hang out with him. He is in a mainstream classroom with pullouts for help. He has severe anxiety (now taking Prozac) as well as migraine headaches. Personally, I am a special education advocate and know ways to help other kids, but it's harder when it is your own kid. My youngest has always been in a self-contained classroom and is unaware yet that he is different. I'm glad this group is here, as I really need some support to find ways to help him. He is overweight, extremely clumsy and socially awkward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
