[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 508620, member: 3388"] While I don't know whether or not your stepson is an Aspie, I can relate to what DDD said. Both difficult child 1 and difficult child 2 needed very rigid schedules in order to stay as "glued together" as possible. Out of necessity I had to become a stay at home mom. Luckily, husband and I owned a small business and I was able to continue working out of our house. It was the most difficult period in my life, in all of our lives. DDD saying that these kids are challenges, in my humble opinion, is a huge understatement!! I had to relearn everything I thought I knew about parenting. I had to do some very deep soul searching, had to change who I was to become the parent they needed. Not sure if this makes sense... I don't know enough about your situation and hope you're not offended by what I've said. Aspies do come across as being very cold, uncaring individuals. (by the way, they are actually very sensitive.) It is possible that his mother might be an Aspie or at the very least, from what you've said about her not wanting Stevie to leave her, I'm sure she has some "issues" too. I hope that Stevie's biomom will agree to let you and your husband spend more time with him. He is lucky to have you and needs both of you in his life. SFR [/QUOTE]
