Any mums from York with Aspergers children?

kt333

Hi, I am mum to a 6 year old girl with Aspergers. I sometimes find it very isolating as I don't know any other parents of children with Aspergers. We have lost friends over the past year mainly down to the fact that I have to cancel outings at the last minute if my daugter is having a meltdown usually over something sensory. I feel that my friends don't understand what its like every day living with what comes with Aspergers (the nightmare mornings, the sensory overloads, the many meltdowns etc).

This is my life and I wouldn't change my children for anything but would be great to have some friends who can relate to the many stressful and challenging parts of our family life.

    I live in York and my son is 6 years old. We are currently in the middle of the process of diagnosis for Aspergers at Limetrees. I know just how you feel. My son has no friends and many meltdowns.

    He is also hyperactive but just taking him to the park is a nightmare. He gets either very angry and aggressive with other kids because they wont do as he says or so full on that he tries to hug them all the time - either way the other parents look at us in that "can't you control your child" way. The answer is of course no I can't!

    He wants to spend all his time on the playstation and its so sad to see him so cooped up and then by bedtime because of the hyperactivity he's bouncing off the walls with all that unused energy.

    He's so loving and trusting and I just want to protect him from all the ignorance and prejudice thats out there.

    Kt333 please let me know if you want to meet up or if you just want to talk on the phone or by email
