Guest guest Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 sounds like a fun guy! Do you guys laugh a lot together? Maybe that is part of what we have been missing lately, the fun of just being together and being silly. We do have some respite now so I feel a comedy club or really funny movie in our future.

Mother figures I suppose Being very social and autistic Hello all,I have a question for all of you. Our son's shrink says that our son who is four is autistic but has trouble with the dx because of how social he is. He loves to be around people most of the time but will go to his room and sort of leave this world for a while. We don't allow him to do this very often and he is only allowed to be alone for an hour o r so and no more when he is like this.. But I have a problem with what the doc said. She said that kids with autism are not social. I find this not to be true. At therapy I see plenty of children that are autistic and they are very social.One boy that we got to know is nonverbal like our son but you know that he really enjoys being around you when he sees you. His mother agreed with me that it is simply not true that ALL children with autism are that way.She said that they are all different and they all have different symptoms of it. I am totally confused.How many parents on here have children that are non social? I heard that it was a myth that ALL autistic children are antisocial so I thought I would ask all of you.Thank you,a Windows Live™: Keep your life in sync. Check it out.......

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 Yes, is fun; we have always had a Friday night date even if we couldn't afford any thing more than going out for hamburgers, and we made it a rule that we couldn't talk about the kids or problems. We alternated on who chose what to do. Even when the kids were older and came home from college on the weekend, I would say the key is under the mat; make yourself at home; I think one of the best things we gave our kids was a mom and dad who love each other and enjoy being together. Our children are grown and married, and they have good marriages. We have five grown married grandchildren and they have good marriages. You will set the example for how a good marriage functions. Kellie, you are so wise; by all means take advantage of that respite and go have fun. You will be doing your kids a favor. I want you to tell me all about it.

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 What great advice. I always like to hear of people who have been able to "do it right" and stay together. It sounds like you have a great relationship and I really hope my marriage is as good. I know it will be work, but I think we have a good start. It feels like we have been married forever but it will only be 10 years this May.. We have been through so much together and I think we both understand that no matter how difficult it seems it would be worse if we were apart. We are the only two people in this world who really knew our , not the only reason but an important one. We might have some problems but we really do love and respect each other, we just need to communicate better and have some fun!

Guest guest Posted April 4, 2009 Report Share Posted April 4, 2009 and I lost an infant son; we had three daughters and we so wanted that little boy. It was a challenging time because we were both so much in our own grief; that we couldn't comfort the other. I think things got better one morning when I emerged enough from my own grief to acknowledge that he was hurting too. The amazing thing is that realized that I needed something to help me move on with my life and he said, "you have always wanted to finish your degree; why don't you go back to school. the girls are all in school so this is a good time. I went back to school and got my B.A, my M.A and my Ph.D. I became a LMFT and had an office at Medical City until I retired to teach part time and work with Karac. Now you know the story of my life in just two paragraphs. Why am I telling you all this? Maybe I want to reasure you that Romans 8:28 is true or maybe it is because I just so admire you and believe you have such potential or maybe I'm just becoming senile ( that is meant to be funny and not taken seriously) LOL, Oops, DIL just called; got to run get Karac.
