So worried for the future

Hello

My Son was diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome a year ago, along with dyslexia, dyspraxia and Irlen Syndrome. He has now developed a motor tic, which means he punches, not aggressively, but impulsively.....so hard to understand even for his Mum who knows he would never intentionally hurt anyone.

He is getting more isolated, cannot attend school at present, although I am looking into a school which caters for his needs. I am so so tired of the fight now....for diagnonsis......for inclusion at school.....for understanding amongst my friends (who have largely over the years thought it was more my issue than his)........for acceptance of his quirks and now this new facet of the syndrome comes along to complicate things more!

I am sure that I do not stand alone in these thoughts and feelings and would be both interested and comforted by the experiences and wisdom of others.

im sorry to hear hes getting more isolated and this must obviously be stressing you and his mum as much as it stresses him 

im also sorry soceity isnt yet properly treating people with specific needs and still prefers everyone to be 'normal' to the pont its still exclusionary in a lot of ways, its a horrible situation and it would be easy to rectify if soceity changed but till that happens all of us with peple in our livs with differences have to do it on our own   but, we have each other and thats enough, we understand some of the ways it can affect each other and that helps a lot, knowing others do get it, exactly as you said, its comforting and thats why we are here to listen
