Greetings!
I'm Michelle... I have a 16 year old who has ADHD, ODD and Asperger's Syndrome (some forms of all but not all inclusive).
Some days it's easy and others are a real challenge. The biggest obstacle seems to be his inability to effectively socialize properly. We've been through the medicines (worthless from our standpoint) and therapy (again, not really beneficial at all) and I'm finding things that are frighteningly the major reasons why my son hasn't overcome these obstacles.
I'm always looking and searching for someone who knows where I am and can give me guidance when I've exhausted my resources. This is why I'm here.
I believe fully on God and know that He's going to show me or lead me where I need to be and up until today, I didn't even know this site existed. Interesting that I find it when I'm ready to throw in the towel, eh?
I know there's hope and I refuse to give up. After 15 years of fighting for my son, that's too much to just throw in the towel now...
He's fighting too and wants to be able to do the things that this world expects of him... he also wants to do what is right but he's still young and peer pressure is TOUGH!
Thank you for letting me join here. I know that I'll find answers that will lead me along this great journey and my son will benefit from my doing this as will I.
All the best to all who are here and I hope you have a beautiful weekend
