  3. Hi all We had a fairly "Nice christmas!!! All being nice to each other and NO major fall outs. Joe was happy got what he wanted Xbox 360!! all he asked for and so on it went crimbo day and on it still is!!! lol i barely got to watch my soaps crimbo day and even now i have taken refuge upstairs because when asked to come off the games so we can watch TV joe goes into JOE MODE!!! ( wouldnt mind but he does have a tv in his room!!!) but insists the xbox is better online and so he NEEDS it to be in the living room!!! i know what your all thinking lol, I am the boss and so should just take it out and make him use it in his bedroom!!! & i agree but this week i feel WEAK!!! cannot be bothered having big conversations with him-and auguments that seem to last forever!!! i am plodding along, biting my lip and wondering how long it will be before it all hits the fan!!! his elder siblings are not too bothered at present BUT they will be when it starts to get annoying lol!!! BLESS at least Joes happy!!! we had family around boxing day and even though they all enjoyed pllaying on the X bOx!!! lol by midnight all had become abit bored!! and joes launguage was choice at times coming out with with words i really didnt know he knew!!! likle swine lol luckily all the family make allowances for him and so i just chose to ignore it!! i think by tomorrow the box will be in the bin or up in his room!!! and family life will resume to its normal "disfunctunal routine lol Bliss

    Hi untill 18months ago i had never heard of Asperger!! feel very ignorant but just muddled through life!! Joe is 13 and i have 3 other kids aged 22, 16 & 9, however i will say that from very early on i knew Joe was different (little things) like he would not like to visit people, he wouldnt mix with other kids without getting upset he loved his cuddles and was my baby even though our only daughter is the youngest!! food was a battle and even now he will only eat certain things which is a diet of 5 things in total ( sad but true) he went to high school at 11 and to be fair the **** hit the fan goodstyle, my boy changed overnight!!! got very defensive and weepy, didnt want to go to school, threatened to kill himself on numerous occcastions which in itself is very upsettin!! he said he was being bullied!!! even though he had a brother in yr 11, we went to the school who bent over backwards for him, got a mentor changed school lessons and even made it a shorter day for him BUT it was short lived!!! they got an Education Phychologist to visit who Immediately took him out of mainstream!! joe had severe Anxietys and she and we felt that mainstream was a no no at least for the time being!!! joes bullying was just verbal ( just as bad as phyical really) but joes thinking is literal and so to him it was all very real and frightening!! he started being assessed and even though we still have no diagnosis all are heading towards Autisum/asperger, which in a way is a releif!!! as we now haev read up and learnt alot rather than clutching in the dark!! joe attends a local hospital school were fingers crossed he has settled downside is its only for 2 & half hours per day, i cannot work now as i need to be home for him and so family life has also suffered!! we had to sell our home and go back to copuncil as we couldnt afford the mortage and one wage ect ect!! so to say its all been an unheavel is an under statement. we are still at times struggling to cope with joes behaviour specially his depressions/moodswings and anger which more often than not deriects at his dad and siblings!! i am hoping that we can go on a course locally to help us all understand that joes world isnt like ours fully and to try to sort things out for all of us as this has effected us all as a family. i am hoping to gain alot of helpful tips ect through this site thanks debzx
