aspergers mom

My son and I have suffered from this more me though which could be put down to anxiety.I have had horrendous journys once I only went two miles down the road and I felt dreadful once Ireland 61/2 hours in a mini bus Goodnews though I have found a brilliant remedy. it's called Stugeron you take two meds 2 hours before the journey and 1 med every eight hours after that. .I went to London on Sunday something I wouldn't even have considered at one time. Now I can enjoy views enjoy the journey and not be praying for the end of the journey before it started.

I can only reply from a mothers point of view.My son has told me that when I am stressed hoping that everything will go ok he picks up on it straight away.Of course that is when things go wrong because I am so stressed anything that is done or said is magnified in my own mind.I wish I was one the laid back type who could just let the aspergers world flow by me.Twice when he was young I listened to well meaning friends and wasn't so protective.The first time I nearly lost him in the sinking sands a Burnham and the second he ran straight at a bonfire.
