Thank you very much Kevin for opening your
heart. You give me some hope and peace of mind
about my son's future. You show a lot of
insight and talk a lot of sense about what
is the reality of the Asperger condition.
I also have been there in the sense of
dealing with ignorance from other people. I
had a very hard time during my school days
until I was diagnosed with Dyslexia at 14
year old.
A week ago my son received the diagnosis that
he has Asperger's. The good part of this
is that has been diagnosed somewhat early,
he is nearly eight yrs old. He was born on
August 19th 1994, so his birthday is the day
before yours.
Since he was 3 years old I have been bothering
all kind of child services to get a
confirmation to what I was suspecting, but
always hoping that I was wrong. Well in
any case now we know the reality and he
is not alone in this battle. I tell to my son
that everybody is unique and special in his
own way, and that sometimes people don't
want to accept that. And most important is
how we see ourselves than how others see us,
so he should not feel left out or think that
he can't reach out for what he wants. Most
of the time life is full of ups and downs
but the best way is to confront the challenges
and persevere.
I know and understand all the frustrations
you are living with but be sure, with faith
you will reach what you want too, I am sure
of that.
Thank you again and may God give you his
wisdom and guidance in your journey.
Take care :-)
