[QUOTE="DDD, post: 101623, member: 35"] I have a non-violent difficult child who just saps the joy out of the air. He rarely yells etc. but he is confused, unhappy, on the outside looking in etc. for most of his life. At home, thank God, the negativity has reduced a bit. It doesn't help us much but based on too many years experience parenting, I think that the difficult children with AS type characteristics are not able to blend in with other "normal" students at the school. My difficult child, for example, REALLY wants to "hang out at the mall with friends"...alas, he has no friends. He REALLY wants to go to the dances..but..he can't grasp that girls want to have "fun" at dances and usually hang in packs. He is "packless". This causes a sense of isolation and anger that parents are hard pressed to overcome. Also, difficult children have to "stifle" their emotions in the school environment and sometimes just fall apart at the seams once they are home and let the F word fly etc. Bullying is also a part of the problem and the school are ineffective, I believe. It is scarey and complicated. I hope you are able to gain comfort from the CD family. Sometimes it is the only place where you can share the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth without fear of consequences. Welcome. DDD [/QUOTE]
