Hey Everyone,
My 2yr old daughter is supect ASD with an assessment in June, and I was basically pondering on the possibility that its genetic and if it is the case does my brother have Aspergers??
My brother is 27 now. He had and still has really bad learning difficuties and went to a special school as a child. The doctors were never able to mention anything specific..anyway... I remember him having speech therapy as a child and he alwaysssss had a bad temper, he'd get so angry and get really aggressive over the slighest little thing. He still does it to this day if he doesn't get his own way.
He has obsessions over football, theatre and racing cars, and used to sit infront of the washing machine, watching it spin, kept him occupied for hours as a kid, along with his train set that went round and round. If hes unable to go to a football game or a show he really wants to see etc he gets mad. Bacially goes into a right one over anything hes unable to do that he really wants to and taps his head a lot when hes getting stressed out.
Most of the time trying to get him to understand that he cant act the way he does is like talking to a child, he doesnt seem to process whats wrong and whats right. He cant tie shoelaces and has trouble keeping up his personal appearence. With life things he cant manage finances, has trouble making friends, got bullied a lot and still does!
Is this Aspergers? What shall we do? How do we tell him if it is?
It would make sense as to how my lil one has suspect ASD, I dont think she has the Aspergers part though as shes such a lovely bubbly lil princess, she has strops but never as bad as my brother.
