Re: a typical day...any suggestions?

All Im going to say is, having a child with AS or Autism or any disability, but I can talk from the heart on Asperger issues, will have an enormous effect on the house hold, Louis effects everything we do or want to do, more than having a "normal" child would. I too felt a kick in the teeth when I read that comment which is why I asked if the said child actually had Aspergers. I don't think cj meant to cause insult but, after reading about her son, I don't think he should perhaps be compaired to our children as they sound completely different. Katy in the ukMaralee wrote:

I immediately felt the same way, and I responded to the list. I don't think the person intended it to come off like that, but unfortunately, it could easily be construed negatively. She wrote back and said she was just referring to her own situation. In a previous 'life,' I would have felt the same way--there would be no way my kids would talk back to me (among other things)! But darn it, no matter how I try, I cannot get this 14 year old kid under control! : ) !!!!!!!!!!!!! Spiritually speaking (can we do that here?), I think God is using my daughter to show me just that. I am NOT self-sufficient. I need Him! Day by day, hour by hour...I need strength and wisdom and patience and endurance......

"My husband & I run our home, not any of my kids. Cj-GA"

I agree this comment was uncalled for, ESPECIALLY on a list like this where the parents have killed themselves being consistant and "in charge". Make me wonder if this members child doesnt have Aspergers. I thought I read a post saying this child has a new diagnosis that isnt Aspergers?
