HI All,
With regards my husband of now 25years!! he is fine with the fact he probably has mild Aspergers, it explains where our son Geai gets it from, and explains alot of my husbands behaviour, he has never been a mixer, although in a comfortable setting he can be fine . we have always lived in really remote areas and both have a nature. He has a degree is knowledgable but struggles with big groups is extremley stuborn, set in his way s and views, very protective of his family, but he can be hard work and gets depressed vey easily. He has not offically been diagnosed i doubt he would do that. Things have got worse between us since our son Geai has been suspected of Aspergers my husband is of the attitude we are all different why make such a big thing of it! He also to date has not attempted to read any of the books he gets all the info he needs second hand from me, he finds the books too depressing!! Things are so tough on and off of late we have talked of seperating but do not know what that would do to our son who adores his dad. My husband will sit back and give our son alot of one to one, football etc but at times my husbands stubborn approach to my sons eating habits and behaviour sometimes makes matters worse, my husband is always right and on the odd occasion he says he is wrong he would still go and do that thing again a few days later, disagreements are always about how to deal with Geai!
My son did start some rocking in class a few months ago but as far as i am aware it has now stopped, his teacher at that time was preparing to leave on maternity leave and he was a bit stressed, never any sign at home, once or twice when we have met his friends outside school, i was advised if it persisted lead him away from that situation that is making him stressed.
Geai came home in tears yesterday as a mother had told him off in the school playground for not sharing the school sledge, he told me the child who spoke to the mother did not ask to use the sledge so he did not know he wanted a go?! Geai has a half an hour after school were he waits for the school bus to bring him home this was when it occured more often or not he is unsupervised along with five other children at that time. i was furious he has never come home in tears before. FIRSTLY CANNOT WAIT FOR THE SNOW TO MELT AS THE un structured kids on sledges in the playground scares me , he came home with a cut chin two days ago after some one pushed him off the sledge from behind! and two made my mind up i should probably tell all parents at school to avoid this scenario in the future. i am so mad with the school for allowing unsupervised sledging it is not afe and Geai has come home soaked but i worry if i cause too much hastle relations will be difficult esp with it being a small school only two teachers and a shared head teacher. Also part of me is sared forGEAI THE OTHER PART DOES NOT WANT TO ruin the fact that he is trying to join in with the other kids if i interfere i could wreck that?!
I am jabbering on this morning ladies sorry! i warned you i have no one else to share my problems with
so you get to hear it all.
I have been getting mail alerts my the way.
Should we not move to the general chat section?
