Hello Folks. My Son and I need help.

Post Reply New Topic

Hey all (lexis and Gilder), thanks for taking the time to speak to me. It's a great comfort to know you are not alone in this situation. I have got my son to agree to a revision time table that is realistic and fair, allowing him time to zone out which a must and catch up on his work. I haven't mentioned AS to him, but my growing appreciation of the situation is helping to formulate a constructive approach. I am trying to educate him as I am sure all parents do to the fact that, his school work is money in the bank and the barrier between him and a life of frustration. I think some of my verbos ramblings are getting through.
I am unemployed at the moment and am considering a more short term task based job. As working in information risk leaves me frustrated at the never ending tasks and lack of forward movement and clarity from co-workers. I have struggled with the assumption of arrogance when faced with the seeming lack of intelligence of co-workers and people in general. I felt my difference from others but worried that dwelling on it or acknowlodging it was arrogant and the start of mental illness.
Has anyone had similar experiances and where are they know with them?

i often have problems in school too. i don't get bombed as i just about to manage to keep under the radar now that they know im aspie but i know how difficult it can be. i still have problems. he needs to try and find someone that he can relate to, student or staff. yeh it may seem a tad odd but it helped me a lot. if he don't want to maybe just find something to help him through the day like writing his thoughts in a note pad etc. hope it helps.
give him as much support as possible.

Thanks Gabs, I'll give it a go.
