Hi Everyone,
I have recently been diagnosed with A.S.C. at my diagnosis I was told to look for literature on high functioning autism and Aspergers.
I am a mum to two boys 3 & 3 months and am trying to come to terms with my diagnosis and how to parent two children to the best of my abilities. I dont know many other parents who are in the same situation and haven't had a chance to come to terms with my diagnosis before the premature birth of my second child. Sleep depravation kicking in and I have so much to learn.
I don't fit in with other parents and am dreading playgroup and school. it was bad enough the first time around!
Thank you for reading, I look forward to looking through the discussions and hope I can be support to people too.
Hello - mum to a 10 year old autistic (mid diagnosis) boy just wanted to say hi - I can't imagine how much extra pressure your diagnosis must have heaped on you at a time when I know life is super stressful anyway! Also had a 3 year old running around when our boy was born!
I hope someone in a similar situation will reply but just to say I really identify with dreading interaction with other parents and playgroup/school. Am naturally shy and also found all of that really difficult, must be much worse for you x
