    My son
  1. Thanks Lynn, Yeah my hubby was trying to help me by encoraging social interaction but it was a to high expectation of him to but me in that situation. However, luckily me and my partener do have good communicational skills (albeit I have to be calm). I did have a good talk with him when I was calmer about how it made me feel and with the help of cpn we discussed to what extent I could push myself socially but not too much that it made me feel like I want to run away. I have planned still to go back as I really want to make an effort socially and for my son plus there is a good nursery there for Charles at a later date. I have set a little goal with the help of my cpn to ask three questions to one of the leaders regarding my son so I should be able to do that and build gradually with the support to maybe one day speak to another mum there I struggle with mumsnet as it is way competative there and so much bitchiness but thanks for the tips guys I will have a look at Ivillage. I definately don't read mags they are so glossirised into a 'perfection' which i know is ###### and in the real world a mum can not achieve the message they are setting out! I also can not cope with all the info in parenting books and only read one parent book which suits my liking as it is week to week 'guide' and I can read little segaments each week. I do have other books but I can not cope will all the different info as it is a grey area and definately baby's are hard work - but also rewarding in so many ways as well as well as a learning element to help with my personal development.
  2. I am an aspie and I am left handed. My dad is an aspie and he is left and right handed, although he perfers using right

    The Apprentice

    Does anyone watch the young apprentice?
  4. Also with ESA put as much documentation with the form - I put dla letter and also got my cpn to fill out the form. Remember to put the worse case scenrio and also if you do go to an interview you can take someone like an advocate or a supportive relative
  5. I have asperger and take this. the only side effects were dizzyness at the begining of taking it but it soon dies down. I find it has helped with anxiety and made a hugh difference to my mental state and helped make me think more clearer and logical manner.
  6. I get like this when change happens, espeically when someone decides to do one thing and then go and change it. I also struggle with grey areas of advice which is just a 'guideline', I take it literal and I don't have the ability to work out the difference between what it is saying and actually working it out. I do have rough patches where I suffer with increased mental health problems where I feel like I regress back with my asperger and other times when life is good I make progress with myself and aspeger.
  7. I am a new mum with asperger, my baby boy is 6 weeks old. I feel like a total outsider going to baby group and like other aspie mums I had the assumption that having a child would open doors for me socially. I feel so ###### especiaslly going to baby group today with my husband, who is very good socially seeing him mingle while I was just sitting there clueless as what to do apart from read a book to my son. It did not help that I wanted to change my son and my husband decided to do it and tell me to sit there causing me to get really anxious and pariond. I did ask if I could do it but he said it woukld be good for me to stay and attempt to socialise. That made me feel worse as it just highlighted how different I am to everyone and i was extremely pissed off with my husband for doing that when I am already pushing myself to attend the group.

    DLA

    Thanks for your response, I have saved my copy of the form on a memory stick. I shall contact CAB nearer the time but last time I rang NAS line which helped greatly with how to word the sections. I don't think my disability is cured it affects me every day and like you have said once you have leart one thing, something else appears. And also from my exerience cetain changes can make you go backwards and vic versa with stability I grown and get confident. I am currently at uni so I shall get them to supply evidence and also my boyfriend provides alot of support. Waiting to see a psychatrist but that is a long story if you have a dual-diagnosis!
