[QUOTE="gardengirl1958, post: 676550, member: 19929"] Thank you so much! I have been completely overwhelmed by the positive flood of response here. In fact, it has caused me to relax again and think creatively about my situation. I've had private messages as well. I wish I had found this group 10 years ago! I would have avoided so many disasters! Because of the posts, I did something that has already inspired tremendous change. My son loves to write. And he now respects deadlines. So as an infraction (not really - my way of explaining consequences and encouraging emotional responsibility), I had him write an easy to be handed in to me in 24 hours about how he can best handle his fears without striking out at others. (College is back in session. The reason for the short deadline.) Wow! What a BREAKTHROUGH! He devised a method for himself to follow when he feels anxious or agitated to identify the fear, compare it to past experiences, determine if it's valid, and then come voice it to my husband or me if it feels like he feels he's getting overwhelmed and agitated and needs help. He had well organized his method and procedure ( as a mom this was equally a relief and kind of amusing with his terminology as a scientists). He turned this into a scientific process. Then, it made sense to him and now he has a plan for each fear episode to attempt to defuse some of his anger at me. (He took responsibility for it.) When the forum responded to me as they did, it helped me to see I was not so "off" and they encouraged me to relax. They gave me courage to trust my gut and pick my battles. The anger needed to be battled but in a creative way - a path suited for my son. This was an amazing experience! Thank you, forum! I am blown away by your compassion and kindness and generosity. We start the support group this Friday (our formative meeting). I am really excited and nervous. We have four adult s on our leadership panel of Aspie young men with different levels of experience and all with a desire to help our sons and others. We will have folks coming to this group from several counties. I am absolutely certain, I will be asking this forum for advice. We hope that some of these young men will want to take leadership roles Thank you so much for creating a place like this to help people have hope. Hope gives life! I am grateful to God for all of you. You have no idea what an answer to prayer you are to me. [/QUOTE]
