Proud mother of an aspie.
I've been hunting around online trying to find a good forum to join where I can learn more and find some support since recently having my son diagnosed. He is 7 in March and some days are soon some are bad, but most are tiring. He is a highly intelligent boy, who also has social issues. Other kids just don't understand him at times because if he isn't interested in the topic he will just change it to what he wants no matter how they feel about it and if they try to change the topic back he will just go off at them for interrupting him... which makes school difficult at times. Every day is always about numbers and measuring things. He is already doing Math years above his age and everyday life things he usually finds a way to incorporate maths or science into it all. (like measuring with his hands to ensure that his pillow is in the middle of the bed and will not settle into bed till it is in the center.) he is constantly active and talking when we are at home even if its just talking to himself, while I am writing this he is pacing back and forth telling me he is a Dalek.
I love him to the moon and back but some says are tiring.. I would love sometimes to just sit and watch a movie with him and have him lay still.. (impossible.. even when he is asleep..) I constantly have bruises all over me because he just climbs up and over me all the time and doesn't stay still for more than 30 seconds. It gets frustrating at times with his diet but I am slowly just learning to live with that. he has always been fussy and will make himself spew over certain textures in his mouth. He has an amazing memory for certain things, still remembering back to things when he was a toddler, yet he will ask where something is he had just a few minutes prior and will get extremely frustrated because he insists he did not put it there and someone (obviously me because I am the only person here) must have moved it.
I could go on for a fair list of the things about my son but I just wanted to give a quick yet more informative introduction of my son and I. I am a 26 year old single mother that struggles with her own mental issues and I just sometimes need a place to vent that is anonymous yet people will understand and be able to help.
