Guest guest Posted April 25, 2008 Report Share Posted April 25, 2008 My son was diagnosed last year with Asperger's (at first we were told PDD, but the actual report stated Asperger's). He is now 18 and my husband has nagged him this whole year about his grades. I guess he's considered highly functioning, but he still has problems. My son will graduate soon, but he is failing 2 subjects and now he doesn't speak to my husband. My husband gets mad when my son won't talk to him. I understand my son's point of view better than my husband's (maybe because I might have ASD as well??) My husband thinks he's lazy and can do the work, but I see him as having a disability. Am I babying him too much, or is husband overbearing? My son does not discuss emotional subjects. I've been thinking about family counseling. Has anyone done this? Even though he was diagnosed last year, I still know nothing about this and the school has been no help. They don't return our emails or our requests to meet with his teachers. I think because he is a senior, they have already " given up " on him. Any thoughts will be appreciated. in PA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
