Guest guest Posted June 17, 2005 Report Share Posted June 17, 2005 Uhura, I wouldn't worry about it too much, actually. AS is more of a classification than a disease, in my mind. I think you should just be yourself and if the subject comes up, approach your side of the conversation from this standpoint. I've NEVER flet ashamed for " having it " and neither shoud you. You are the same person he's known all his life. Things should not change much just because you've been " classified. " Tom My dad is coming to visit for the first time since I was diagnosed with Asperger's a couple of months ago. And he's never brought up the subject since I told him on email that I have it. I'll admit that I'm not sure how I feel or what to do if he does bring it up. I'm sure that through no fault of his own, he is probably thinking of the stereo-type of autism and that since Asperger's is in the autism spectrum.....

Perhaps point out that you are no different from the way you were prior to the Dx. - s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Rogene ~ My sister is coming up monday so she can drive us to temple tuesday. We will be there all day again, leave here @7:15, and return @ 5:30 is how the last chemo day went. Then Wed she will be going to pick up her daughter at the airport and then they will be getting a hotel to stay in. I am sure that will take most of her day, they will come visit in the afternoon and be here for dinner, then leaving to go to their hotel. Thursday, they will be shopping and that will take most of their day, they will come visit sometime in there. Friday morning they will be going home. My brother and his wife will be coming the day before christmas. They may or may not stop by here that night, last time they didnt. They are staying with friends of theirs in South Austin, about an hour away. They will come visit on Christmas Day for awhile and bring some food like on Thanksgiving. Stay a few hours, then go back to their friends house. They will stop by here the day after and visit for a bit, then drive home. This is the extent of my family and their help. My little sister is too busy right now to come help. She is leaving for africa on the 14th I believe and will be gone for a couple weeks. She may come in January sometime. We will see. I will make it......I always do......God is carrying me. If at any point I feel I am getting to tired or rundown, before that happens, I will call the church and ask if someone is willing to come stay with Dad while I rest. They are really kind people. Thank you Rogene, my family is just ................I dont know the word for it. I draw a blank.......Love you ! DedeSee AOL's top rated recipes and easy ways to stay in shape for winter.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Dede, I'm so sorry your family isn't there when you and your father need them . . . They are setting an example for THEIR children about how to treat them when THEIR day comes. I know God is the power behind you! . . . God Bless, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
