I came across this story about the joys and hardships of living with a child with Asperger’s Syndrome. I just wanted to share it with you.
Life with Asperger’s Syndrome can be very confusing. Many days, Caleb is very high functioning and you would never expect that there is something different about the wiring in his brain. Other days, it’s quite obvious that this child has some real issues.
….
As a parent of a special needs child I have learned that I must command authority and respect. I can not let my child use his diagnosis as an excuse to misbehave on a daily basis. I see that all to often in society and I do not want that to happen within my own family. However, I also realize that there will be some days that are just bad days with wrenches thrown into the mix that make everything go cattywompus. Unfortunately, I realize that sometimes it is of my own making and I have to correct myself in order to correct my children, especially Caleb.
