Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 I can say the one thing that I enjoy is my computer. when i fight the good fight each and every day with and for my son I like to use my computer at night. My fiance Marc is a graphic artist and I became a graphic junkie and started making letters and email tags with pictures of my son. My son has his own computer and Marc has networked all our computers together. the one thing that i have learned is that my sons fine motor skills has developed a great deal with the use of a computer! now the gross motor skills leave me shaking my head. he is 7 years old and still can not understand that he needs to walk around a door to get inside some place. and the one thing that really scares me is that I can not deal with him in a supermarket. he has no idea that he has to move out of the way of the people shopping with carts. he never looks both ways. when my son was 3 i took him to his dr and told her that he is very bizare and he does not understand certain concepts that most kids his age should get. like running in the road.. not to run across a parking lot to get to his destination. i had told her that in a crowded shool yard my present daycare giver had taken him to pick up her son at school. he took off from her and became so excited with the out of school comotion he knocked a kid down and hurt him. i just over all laid it on the line that he would do things i know he should know not to do. and i questioned her about the fact that when i take him some place busy (and a single mom i was then had to take her kid every place she went) he would go loopy and he would do strange things with his arms and hands. they would fly up in the air and clench over and over in and out. her response.. get this one.. She was listening to me outside the room talk to . I asked him please to stop grabbing things. i asked him please to behave and be a good boy. she advsised me that i needed to be a stronger parent. that when my son grew up i would have a problem because i never taught him that when i spoke i was the adult and it was not a please stop, it was a STOP THAT NOW.. and the hand ticks was gross motor overload. try not to take him to the store or to a busy place etc. hello i am a single mom what choice did i have. needless to say i found another dr. and we never realized that it was aspergers until all the pieces of the puzzle fit together. which ticked me off about the other dr was that if she put the pieces together and thought gross motor overload she would have realized how sensitive he was to the stimulation. and still is. he has a hard time in the stores because of the lights and the crowds of people. and he does not act as some kids do and melt down in the store. his version of overload is he races about and scares the daylights out of me cause i am afraid he will get run over by a cart in the store or a car in the parking lot. so there a little about us.. cfitzpa2@... ryansjoy@... -- RE: new friend Cute picture, Colleen!!!
