Hello, everyone. I'm the father of a nine-year-old with AS. He was diagnosed when he was five, so Mom and I have known for quite a while. I have become completely disassociated from him. We have no relationship to speak of; as a matter of fact, I find it hard to be around him. I've tried working with counselors and attended sessions with a child psychiatrist. However, our relationship seems nothing short of irreparable, which fills me with a great sadness. I find it terribly unfair to him, but I don't know how to fix it. His only real interests are video games, and his conversation resultingly follows suit. So my posting is, for all intents and purposes, an act of singular desperation. Perhaps through the experiences of other relatives and Aspies, I can find a way to actually love my son. That I want to repair our relationship is evidenced by my posting, so please refrain from any scathing, vitriolic responses.

Hello! It's a great thing you bumped to the Wrong Planet. You'll find plenty of help and resources on the Parents Discussion forum, where you'll get to meet other parents who help one another.

Anyway, the Big D and Errol welcome you to Wrong Planet!
