Hi I'm new and an Aspie mum of two Aspie children!

Post Reply New Topic

Hi, just to introduce myself. I'm a mum of two children with Aspergers children, both with diagnosees. I realised that the genetic link comes from both myself and my son's father, however not from my daughter's father, linking the genetics to me. I have always struggled through life and have seen myself as a little different, I certainly appear different to others as I'm very young for my age, dress young, like things that young people do. I'm a big fan of XBox 360, the skate scene, rpg's (especially Skyrim), love all the latest music, frequently have hair odd colours etc etc. I found life hellish as a kid and a teenager as I never felt understood and rebelled against my parents a great deal. Have since realised my dad and I are exactly the same although he is far more extreme than me. My kids are my world however life can be very tough sometimes especially with one child who is going through the I want to be independent stage at 8... she is supersensitive as well, and a son who, well, is a teenager and a couple of years delayed as well as having Bipolar, and other psych issues related to my break up with his father 12 years ago. I am newly married and enjoying life however Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a pain in the backside and has reared its ugly head for the second time. I have been ill for about 8 months now but am determined not to let it put a dampner on life. I'm studying towards a BAHons Humanities, Art History and Literature degree through the Open University which takes a lot of my time but is a positive thing as its giving me confidence for the future. All the best, thanks for listening, I hope to post more soon!

Ohmygosh, I have to say this: you're amazing. A mum who plays Skyrim and rpgs? Into the skate scene? Hair colouring? And managing to get by and keep a good attitude in spite of whatever gets thrown at you? AMAZING I TELL YOU.

Welcome!

Welcome to to the wrong planet. (I just realized that you're coming to the right wrong place. 'chuckling to self')

Thank you so much for your lovely welcome everyone. I think I just 'get on with it' most of the time although I do have bad days, like today where I know that my son is going to come home in a bad mood, not entirely sure why but it has got to the extent where I wonder whether or not I can cope with him and his outbursts any longer. It all just seems so futile - give me a couple of hours though and I'll be back to normal again!

Much love and thanks xx

Welkome to WP
