Help - Newbie

struggling mum

Hi everyone,

After a very long process my son (10) has just been diagnosed with Aspergers. I have suspected for some time so in many ways the diagnosis is a relief and answers some questions. I have read lots and lots of information and trying to be proactive in helping my son, I see the positives in the condition and the difficulties he faces but here's the problem.... defining what is the condition and what is bad behaviour. For example...His meltdowns now include swearing, mean comments and hitting out?? These factors really hurt! I know its not about me but aswell as this is totally humiliating and I feel complete lack of control. We go through the whole process, he acts out in this way, loses his beloved technology, finally earns it back then the cycle starts over. Any insight would be very welcome.

Thank you 

Parents

    My son is 25. He demands a lot of me and shouts abuse at me if I don't comply with his demands. This usually leads to me crying and then he tells me off for that. Everything's my fault and he expects me to sort thing out to suit him which is impossible. His demands for money are breaking me and his powers of pestering till he gets what he wants are phenomena. I know I should stand up for myself and grow a thicker skin but I don't seem able to do this. Please excuse my rant but life is really difficult at the moment.

    does he not recieve the benefits he is entitled to?
