Hi,
I am a new parent, and I have aspergers. Currently I am having some unwelcome intervention with parenting. I am going to be just fine, but I will be better off if certain people realise that a person with aspergers can be a perfectly good parent. I am trying to prove at the minute that parents with aspergers do exist and there's nothing to say that having aspergers causes any issues bringing up a child.
Does anyone have any idea where I can locate some examples that will be official enough (I mean news articles, reports, that kind of thing) of aspie parents being loving, caring parents, or the fact that they know what they are doing and are not incapable of loving their child or talking to their child or bringing him/her up to achieve their full potential.?
I've been hunting high and low for actual proof. I know that aspies can make great parents. The trouble here is the people who think they know everything and that having aspergers and successful parenting does not/ can not co-incide. I'm having difficulty finding a way of proving to these people that it's NOT the case.
