Hi all,
My son and I had a meltdown recently and although it wasn't pleasant by a long shot, it made me as a parent with a newly diagnosed child who has Aspergers re-evaluate life slightly.
On discussing this meltdown with my ex wife (his mum) I have said that maybe both he and I need to go for professional help to try and solve specific problems. At this point she laughed at me as she mis-understood what I meant.
At no point am I thinking they can 'fix' Aspergers but can certain traits within be stopped or is it my responsibility as a parent to work round them? To try and put this into context, my son plans things to the n'th degree and goes into a mini meltdown if even one of a hundred things doesn't go the way he planned it.
What I suggested was some form of help/assistance/therapy to try and make him realise it isn't the end of the world. She told me it can never be fixed and we have to get used to it - is she correct?
I hope I have made myself clear and please, I am a newby to this so if I have said anything to offend anyone , it genuinely isn't my intent.
