[QUOTE="DDD, post: 400130, member: 35"] Rats...I wrote a long reply and it disappeared as my server disconnected. How frustratin! I'll try again with fingers crossed. I have raised a teen with Aspergers. It is not easy to be a teen but an AS teeen really has stressors. Often I found that what happened at home originated at school with bullying and label slinging. Being called weird, dumb, airhead etc. etc. is too much for AS teens to cope with and in the safety of their home it often spills over. There is a site that I believe is called The Oasis or Oasis that is dedicated to AS. There are message boards and forums that include parental input as well as a teen forum where kids can read offerings from others like themselves. Often their is a normal or above normal intelligence displayed but it also addresses the issues unique to AS. Try your search engine and see if that brings up the site. I think you'll find it helpful. The situation with your husband is, sadly, not unique. Having a special child is often more difficult for men, in my humble opinion. If you find that site helpful perhaps you can get him to read part of it so he is aware that the difficulties are not directed at him or you or your family...these kids have special issues that need to be understood and addressed. Good luck. DDD [/QUOTE]
