A lot has gotten better, but still a challenge trying to figure out what triggers out son to go into a bad mood. From all this new infomation I have seen in myself that I fit several of these traits of being an aspie. Now I am confilicted about how I should change my life, help my son, repair my marriage, work to support my family and enjoy life. The most fustrating part is that my son's mood sets the tone for the household.
I hear you, believe me. You could be describing my household right there. The thing that burns us right now is that we took our son to the doctors at three and told him that something was wrong. The doctor brushed us off, said he's fine, and told us that "Hey, a lot of people have Aspergers traits. It's nothing to be concerned about."
If we knew then what we know now.
My best advice for parents with young kids that feel there may be a problem: trust your instincts, even if they go against what your pediatrician is saying. Go and get that second opinion.
