Welcome to a different
journey than Maybe you expected. It is within your
ability for this to be OK for you levely son,yourself
and your family. It seemed to me at the outset that
it was as though all my friends children had been
set off on gentle ambles along easy paths but someone
had just plunked my little fellow down at the foot
of some vast mountain rangr and left us there just
telling us to set off and climb. So initially many
tears and much exhaustion but as we found out where
we were we read books [throwing away those we found
unhelpful or outdated ] , we talked to others also
out here climbing, reached for and professional advice
we thought might be helpful and decided who seemed
useful companions on our Journey.
We have found Son-Rise
Start Up courses very helpful. We have
found the books 'sonrise the miracle continues' the
video 'I want my little boy back'
and the audiotapes'special children special solutions'
of particular help'[from the option institute]. I
read a very good book by Tony Attwood [I forget the
title but I think it was just 'Aspergers
syndrome' ] very helpful. There is an
excellent book published by JKP called 'A
positive approach to Autism' by Stella
Waterhouse which I found summarised simply and well
the vast array of different theories and approaches
to Autistic spectrum disorders including interesting
research on possible biochemical and dietary issues...
I found it was helpful as a way of considering briefly
which approaches we wished to look into further and
which not to wasteour limited time on.
Good Luck.
Our son is lovely and
amongst the chaos and challenges there is much joy
and Laughter in our House. It lies within your ability
to find the way foreward on your Journey. At least
you know where you are now so you can get your bearings
talk to other'climbers' gather your guidebooks and
equipment and move forewards more easily.
Much Love from England.
