Hi, i'm a mother of 3 kids, the oldest having High Functioning Autism.  It's my first time on a forum and just looking for people to talk with and get ideas from to help deal with different problems that arise.

  • Hi Mazspirit, and welcome!

    How old is your eldest?  Are the other two unaffected? Does he/she have any problems with the other two, or at school?

    I assume, as you've said high-functioning, that there have been some developmental delays.  Are there any particular behavioural problems that you struggle with?

    A good book, if you've not come across it, is Susan Senator's 'Making Peace With Autism' - about one family's experience of bringing up an autistic child.  There are some cheap used copies (under a pound) on Amazon.

    Best wishes,
