hello, i'm patrick and have a 12 year old son called felix who is aspergic. we live in london and i am his main carer.he has refused to go to school for the last few years and has worked through a number of home tutors. At the moment there is none and he is too clever to logisize a reason why he should learn anything that doesent interest him. Its like debating with wigttenstein (cant spell that) even though we have won a full funding from the council. Felix is shockingly musical and has also started to draw. He can hardly get down the street or move without breaking something or bumbing into but he plays guitar as if it was part of his body. However, he really struggles and is becoming aware of what his aspergers means to his life and his future. If i'm honest , he has become rather depressed. He is very attatched to me and i seem to be his dad,nurse and best friend all in one. I worry about this a lot as sometimes am not very good at any of them, because who could be. His mum and i are seperated but have a good relationship and she lives close and he sees her everyday as part of his routine. He hates us being seperated though. Even though he has never really been able to hold down any friendships he is lonely for someone like himself. Any help at all on the latter would be very very appreciated except it would have to be a philosophising goth/punk who is a vegan, animal activist and anti any control systems or class systems (i wish i was joking).
We have had some of the greatest moments of my life but somedays it just breaks my heart completely.
