[Guest guest]

I have a 6 yr old boy who was recently diagnosed with aspergers. i

also have a 4 yr old boy, cameron, who is diagnosed adhd. my 14

month old daughter, kristina, seems normal thus far. well i say

normal if you count being an extreemly cute and delightful wonder of

a child. i am 43 and really too old to be trying to be a single

mother of children this young but i did not bargain for doing this

by myself when i had them. i have 2 grown children and when my

second husband and i got married he had never had kids. i told him

if we could get it done before i turned 40 it would be cool. we had

cameron 3 months before i turned 40. the 2 boys were so cute we

wondered what a girl would be like so we just didn't take any

precautions. so along came kristina. and she is so beautiful its

worth it. since my husband has beeen out of the house for about 6

months except for the occasional short visit we are learning to

adapt. it is actually less stressful in some ways with him gone.

one of the problems was that he did not have the patience to put up

with the boys when they got going. i am trying to learn as much as

i can about aspergers. i have an iep review on taylor january 9th

and i want to try and be ready to get him what he needs if i can.

any suggestions would be welcome. i am sorry if it seems like i am

rambling but it is nice to have a forum to vent some of my feelings

to people who can begin to understand where i am coming from and

where i am going. thank you for that chance.
