My Goddess Son also has Aspbergers. They are work but such beautiful little souls. How are the services where you are? Is your boy being provided with what he needs?

I remember when Joe was diagnosed. It was insane. And then after his therapist dx'd him and he went to a specialist and they said the same thing we still had to get a dx from the school (before he could qualify for services through the district). He also has PTSD and they really wanted to put all of his problems off on the DV situation his mom had been in.

It was better after his dx - before that it was like they refused to believe that there was anything going on with him at all. He was just a bad kid, always into some kind of trouble and always running away. At one point he kept getting into trouble during music class. The school said he was hiding and playing underneath the bleachers and also that his day was always really bad after (this was a big deal as he kept getting sent home). What they neglected to tell us was that he was hiding under the bleachers holding his hands over his ears and rocking back and forth (people with Aspberger's can have audio and visual sensitivities).

It makes sense that the hubby might also have it. It is common for the parent or parents of an Aspbergers child to have it (often undiagnosed) or to have some of the traits. OCD is not uncommon and a lot of those traits match PTSD also.

Anyway, enough of my babbling. Really I just started out to say hello.

Blessings to you and your family,
Jet
