Parents on the spectrum

debsnm

Hi,

I am an occupational therapy student and I have a question regarding parents who present on the spectrum.

I am interested to know if there are any specific areas of parenting that you struggle with and if there is any support in the community geared at parents with autism.

Many thanks,

Debbie

  • I have Aspergers. I have 2 boys, 9 and 20yrs old. I think they have traits too.

    I hope from their point of view, that I'm able to be a father.. better, the father I am, to them. I hope I can connect with them enough to teach them the things my father taught me.

    I feel joyous when I can and guilty that I can't. For me there's no 1 thing, but a little of everything. I stay strong, to be there if they need me!
