[QUOTE="EStephens, post: 545411, member: 15028"] I am attempting to educate myself with the disorder. I am reading just about anything I can get my hands on. (I am not sure I will ever understand it all. ) My son has the typical can't look people in the eyes, doesn't like changing clothes, stems in awkward or happy situations, and he is a friggin genius. Our tiny little town has no resources for Asperger's but he in counseling. ( the counselor swore she has experience with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD),but I am not reassured at all!). I truly am trying to do the best I can by big kid, I just seem to be screwing up more then anything. My mother and sisters are not a source of reassurance, they will not accept anything about his disorder and the last time he stayed with them, his punishment for hiding was for everyone in the house to put their hands on his shoulders while he was held in a chair. ( He still shudders when we talk about how that wasn't right.) My mother in law keeps telling me that I am not raising him right because he is manipulative, dishonest, and a bully to middle kid. I just wanna scream!!! I just feel like no one is on Team Big Kid. [/QUOTE]
