[QUOTE="M0mmyMayI, post: 607660, member: 6924"] Just wanted to follow up. (Sorry, I know it's been a while!) I found out last year my son is on the spectrum. However this did not happen until after my own parents shared my childhood testing with me (that they disagreed with and chose to ignore) that I was (I guess still am) an Aspie (High-Functioning Autism (HFA)) & SpLD. This diagnosis opened the doors for myself and my son. For the first time in my life "it" makes sense. I always knew I was different. But I never could figure out why. I thought I was a pro and mimicking my peers so that I could fit in.... I guess that's weird itself! LOL The things I learned about myself where amazing and I'm still learning. I have bad habits and tend to shut out things and shut down when things are too much. It's not idea but it was a way of dealing and purely self taught coping skills. Having a diagnosis for my son has opened the doors for him to get the help he needs. He's now attending a school for kids on the spectrum only. We still have lots of problems and we live life strange behind these 4 walls! I need to work on helping myself now so I can better help him. And I need to find ways to parent him effectively because right now things are a chaos mess and I can't cope well like this! I'll start a new thread later and hopeful someone will have some tips that will improve our lifestyle some! :) Sorry its late, but thanks for the replies and helpful suggestions. (Poor social follow up then, see I'm learning!) [/QUOTE]
