hi there, i am new xxx

Kikyniky - I think he is in denial and this is wrapped up in not wanting to accept that our little boy has it too.

Puffin/Theresa - thanks for the info. Yes, that makes sense, in which case both my partner and our son would be Aspergers. Our son had no developmental dealy and was actually very precocious in his speech and other aspects. He smiled at 2weeks old [verified by H/V] and started rolling terrifyingly early. He was fully mobile by 4mnths as he used to look to where he wanted to be and just roll to get there. Started rolling at 11wks and just honed the skill!

Our SEN at school told me that Aspergers is going to become under the same umbrella, too.

Its great to read your posts ladies. In the nicest possible way, its good to know I am not alone. Our little boy is doing really well at school, after awful problems when he was a toddler. It remains to be seen how he will do academically as he is very bright, but has sensory impairment which causes attention deficit.

I have to tackle my partner now though, as the way his condition manifests itself is having a very severe affect on my life and I cannot live with it long-term. I have been shelving it whilst I got my son settled, as I could not tackle both together. I think this is goingt to be harder, as he becomes hostile and aggressive when certain issues are raised.

Puffin - I forgot to say - my partner has a habit of rocking sideways at mealtimes. Fortunately not at every meal or I might have to kill him [ha ha!], but it is very distracting for the rest of us. He is also bordering on food aversion, whereas our little boy is the other end of the scale and loves his food.

Love to all, Rosemary xxx
