[QUOTE="Star*, post: 214308, member: 4964"] howdy boxer lover - My Grandog is part boxer - she's quite a lovely princess. I'm so glad you decided to come out and meet the rest of us. My sister is an Aspie lite. She's very gifted - has an IQ of 165+ and holds 5 college degrees. I wanted to touch on something that as a relatively new Mom to CD you may not know that might help you. First of all the disorder NEVER goes away. Hard pill to swallow BUT if someone had been honest with me years ago my mind could have been in a different frame to deal with it all. I kept thinking that the right pill, the right therapy the right Mom (you know what I mean) may "cure" this child. Truth is - their disorders can be managed and you spend a lifetime teaching them to undo the "map" in their brain. If you really want to understand - read a book called "Mapping" by Helams. It's fascinating. Second - you said He's getting therapy but getting worse - OH for the days I had said this and would have been handed a nickle? Rich old me - but this is the way it goes - two steps forward, four steps back, and yes, they do get worse - therapy is changing the way he thinks, behaves, his programming that for whatever reason is not "norm" - and you bet - you're going to have rougher than rough days. Best advice - take care of you - do NOT neglect yourself and continue with where you can educate yourself about your son's disorders. I hope you come back here often - nice to see a new face.
