Myself and Hubby went to our first session of the `help` programme yesterday, What a very informative and interesting day it was.
I was absolutely totally gobsmacked when the guy who was talking was explaining all about the characteristics and little things that people with ASD do.
Hubby kept saying `i used to do that` and `i did that` We also think that `A`s wee sister has aspergers as well. Because i thought i was just being paranoid mum and so i stuck my head in the sand and hoped it would all sort itself out, i know it`s stupid.
(By the way `A` is 16 and was dx in may 2006 with Asperger`s)
Hubby and me were talking about our day and he said he can see lots of `A`s characteristics in me as well, and i know full well there are. But the fact is he`s noticed my behaviour as well. It`s not as bad as `A`s, but there are signs there.
So the outcome is i`ve made an appointment at the docs for my wee daughter and my hubby. I knew there was a change hubby since `A` was dx but i thought it was him just not being able to cope with `A`s behaviour.
We were also told there are some genetic factors in it as well, we always said that `A` was the reincarnation of my dad and looking back it explains a lot of things.
At the moment i`m feeling what else can life throw at us????
Isn`t it amazing how one dx can spark a chain reaction
