Just a vent here to a place where I know you all "get it".

hon. It sounds like there is a lot of stress in your life right now. The AS won't go away, but hopefully the other sources of stress eventually will, which will make the AS easier to deal with again. But I do hear you. I have days when I wish it would go away too. Right now I wish I didn't have to have instant answers to the configuration of the different gases on Mars whilst wiping his face and reminding him to stay focussed when walking to school.


But today I wish the Terrible Twos would go away more. I know age and development is just as much an excuse for behaviour as Asperger's but I swear, if I have to endure one more twenty minute screaming fit because I got the 'wrong' colour dress out I will place her in the window with a 'free to a good home' sign around her neck!


No help I know, except in the 'I hear you sister, you are not alone' category

LOL I went thru this thing today but it had to do with money.

I'm new here, but I saw your post and just had to respond.


I so know how you feel. I'm a single parent of 5 year old twins...my daughter was diagnosed earlier this year with PDD-NOS. I feel like I spent the last three days fighting and crying and generally feeling like the worst mother alive.


I wish I had words to make you feel better, but I have to tell you I'm so relieved to know that what I'm feeling is normal and I'm not alone.
