What relationship are you to someone with Asperger's Syndrome

Parent

My daughter is 15 years old and just been diagnosed AS . I have known for a while but the doctors could not see what I could see in her. she has had two open heart surgeries when she was 5 months and 16 months of age. She also has trouble with her stomach a lot. She has trouble in large crowds. She has trouble at school. School system here is trying but a lot of times they call me to come get her because she is not corporative. We moved her from one school to another. It has upset her. She want to go back. We have decided to not send her back because of the bad influences she has at school. We are in the process of thinking about homeschooling. Any ideas which is the best homeschooling prorgram to go too.
We have had Christy home for a year now and decided to send her to another school she wants the interaction with kids her own age. We will see how it goes.
My son who is 20 has been diagnosed with bipolar diease he is in the hospital and will get out in two or three weeks.
Since working on genealogy , I have discoverd depression and suiside, and still trying to find my real dad. Maybe one day I will. My priority is to take care of my kids.

I hope things have gotten better for you and for her, Is she still homeschooling? Zach is and he is still loving it. He had a physical in Dec. and he is 5'8" tall and 192lbs. He has grown so fast that I couldn't believe what the Dr. said. We have found out that he has low muscle tone in his eyes and he is also color blind and since he has hit puberty his Tourette's has gone crazy and we are having to take him to a neurologist in Feb. We have hin on clonidine 0.1mg right now and he gets 1/2 tablet in the a.m. and a whole tablet in the p.m. and it's really not helping that much anymore that is why we have to see the neurologist next month. It was really good to hear from you and thank you soooo much for the gift. You are a dear dear person. I have been trying to get on here more but things are just crazy anymore with school and oh yea, don't know if I told you before or not but my mom has the beginning stages of Alzheimers. We found this out about a year and a half ago so I also have to keep up with her. She is still driving but I think that soon we will have to take the keys away. Well, better go and get zach in the mind set for bed. (yea, right) Hope to talk more later and let me hear how Christy is doing in all area's. good to hear from you. Have a blessed night and a good sleep, Janet

At 10:56pm on April 6, 2009, Janet proud mom of Zach said…: You poor thing. I know exactly how you feel with family members and not understanding our aspies and their aspie-ish ways. Is Christy still doing good with homeschooling? Is she still liking it? We tried to put zach back into school at the beginning of this year and he lasted 9 weeks only. His stress level got so far out of control that it really upset his Tourette's and had to put him on Clonidine for it. It has helped but we are still having a time with it. SCHOOL? Not a good experience. Well, hope to talk more tomorrow, and I hope you have a good sleep. Janet

At 10:43pm on April 6, 2009, Janet proud mom of Zach said…: Hey Peggy, sorry it's taken me so long to get back with you. It's just crazy busy here anymore. How in the world are you? I see Christy is doing better with homeschooling or I should say the last time I checked. I sign into the site in the mornings with the hopes of being able to get on but over the last few months can't seem to be on here much if any and before I know it it's time to shut the computer down and try to catch a few winks. It was so good to hear from you and I know you ask me a question about some liquid melatonin I don't know about that. The person to ask about that would be allie, I think she has Elijah on it but I don't know if it's liquid or capsules or tablets. Well, I will try to get on again tomorrow and again it was so good to hear from you. May God bless you and have a good sleep, Janet

At 8:44pm on January 14, 2009, Pamela said…: We finally got into Childrens Hospital after a long battle. We got sent from one department...to another.Then they told us they didn't see kids over the age of 5 years old. We called people till we felt like we were stalking people. Then my son's MDT team at his day treatment facility got more involved and started to call numbers for us and eventually we met with Dr. Gabriels and Dr.??? at Childrens. After a bunch of testing they felt it had been a really good referral, that my son had quite a lot of autistic tendencies and that any further educational placement should take into consideration that he need very concrete thinking, and need to be in a classroom where he would be taught social skills everyday. He did have enough ponts to be on the spectrum but wasn't far off. Now he is 15 he seems like he manages to "cope" with a lot of the issues and i wish we had pushed more when he was younger because when i was filling in all the questionaires alot of the stuff he used to do much more often, much more severe but it was only asking if he had done them in the last 3 months. He has also been in a very restrictive day treatment program for 9 months now where he is in a classroom with 4 kids, no homework, he is the highest functioning and so a lot of the issues/difficulties that he has had in the past are not relevant right now. When he transitions into high School possibly in April i'm sure we will start to see the lack of social skills come back, disorganised and lack of coping skills. Anyway we got a report and that's all we can do for now.

At 10:56am on October 22, 2008, Janet proud mom of Zach said…: Hey Peggy, Thank you for the comment. These kinds of actions are
becoming to common in our schools and the teachers need to be
educated about AS. I don't mean to offend any teachers that may
be on this site and I know there are some really gifted teachers
out there with the patience that is needed to deal with special needs
kids. Now days they are far and few between. There is so many Teachers
that are on power trips and this should not be. It will take a few weeks
for zach's stress level to come down it always does. We have issue's
with him around the holidays because of all the commotion going on
and people coming in and out and the house being full. When it's over
it takes a few days to weeks to get him calmed back down. Part of
it. Anyway, I am so glad to hear that Christy is doing really well.
Remove from school, remove the stress. Let me know how she is
doing. *****HUGS***** to you and all, Janet

At 9:12am on October 22, 2008, Pamela said…: I'm glad that they are going to investigate the school. I am still just horrified by the treatment. I am not sure how all CCSD staff are but I know that my principal would never accept that kind of treatment to any student from anyone. Even our janitor/maintence guy stops and talks to all our kids, he comes in the classroom to change a light bulb or something and he always checks-in with the kids asks them how there weekend was or what they are going to do. We need as many eyes and ears out on our kids as we do give them some freedom to walk to some classes by themselves, they eat lunch in the lunchroom by themselves although I am in htere we encourage them to find some "friends" and we need the security guards to be around for them so we encourage all our staff to meet our kids, stop and chat with them. They don't know all the details because they don't need to know but they know who are in the ILC and who to come and find if they felt the student needs more than a push in the right direction if they look a little lost (we made maps of our school and there schdule with the classrooms highlighted on the map so that if they look lost they have it hanging on their back-pack so that anyone could help them,)

At 11:44am on July 15, 2008, Deanna R. said…: Wow Hi Peggy, it was great to get your comment. I asked the visual/vox to send me a piece on Dentists to see if I could take it with to our dentist and show her how hard it is for Mike. She is a good dentist very patient, family friend and a new Mom so she is clam. But a dentist is still a horrible place for our children!
I was looking through your comments and saw a posting of living in South Africa? Did you really? How come?
We lived in Malaysia almost tweleve years ago. We went do to my husbands job. We were on the East Island of Malaysia, after that assignment they asked us to go to Nigera, we declinced and home we came. They also offered us Algeria we also declined. How old is your daughter? How old was she when she was diagnosed?
I better run have a great day!
