At home mum

I am seeing the teacher to discuss our 'suspicions' and mention that my partner is suspected of having AS. I know she is seeing some of the things I am but I don't think she joining the dots up in the way I am etc.

Hi hope you have a better day sweetie. You sound down (understandably)..some days it hits you like a brick and you feel you don't have the energy to explain or deal with one more issue..we laugh about the day we call 'The day it all became too much'..it ended up with me trugding across a field full of cows in my pink fluffy slippers because I could not cope with one more demand being made on me by my partner or the children 

Good news about your daughter doing the full day and wanting her uniform a real bonus..nice one.

My parents live about an hour away and as I am an older mum they are both in their 70's now. They are lovely people but like you say they forget...very rarely they have the boys for a day..afterwards they laugh and say 'gosh how do you get anything done? It's full on all the time with these two!'

Got some leaflets on the parent partnership yesterday..so that's on my 'to do' list. Awaiting CAMHS (that's and AUgust appointment). Spoke to the parent support worker who deals with school..getting mixed messages off her and the teacher. Teacher says to me DS is having problems with anger and socialising..but when support worker speaks to teacher she comes back and says everythings fine..so that's conflicting.

Am reading the Asperger's couples workbook..so far it's brilliant and it describes how my partner views the world, also how the NT partner can feel depressed and frustrated when comunication breaks down. I am finding it helpful to see things from my son's and partners world..good stuff.

I think from what you are saying your health problems are more of a problem when you are under stress, it is the same here with me..my pain has gone through the roof this last 2 weeks. I am having a quiet day today to try and build my reserves a bit more.

You are doing in a good job there and the fact yesterday was a success just proves you are...keep going and big hugs to you.
