[QUOTE="totoro, post: 258179, member: 3155"] Well I just want to welcome you and just say that I am impressed that you have sought help! It does sound like your son is very much on the Spectrum. Maybe there are other issues going on? Or maybe he has not gotten the proper help/treatment to learn how to develop the skills you see he is lacking. The thing with our kids is that they really are many years younger than their actual ages in so many aspects. This is one of the hardest things to grasp for many of us. You look at your child and think, how can you act like a 14 yo at times and then like a fricken 7 yo at others!?!?!? But they really don't want to. This is the thing we all realize at some point, our children really don't want to be like they are. They truly need help, mostly from us, their parents. My child is not on the Spectrum, she has Mental Illness. There are a lot here who do have children on the Spectrum. My little one N, might be on the Spectrum. You will get some great advice here. I would say look into some web sites on Autism. Autism society of America is one. There are a ton. Read up and keep asking questions. Also depending on where you are, there are now a lot a great support groups! [/QUOTE]
