Hi,

I am so sorry to hear all the stuff about your situation.

You will find a lot of support and advise in this group. This is the right place for you.

is your son going to therapy? does he see a psyquiatrist? write down all those stuff for the therapist to help you. It is not easy, but eventually he will learn ways to cope with his feelings.

My girl has been going to therapist for five years and sometimes she has regression. I take her for therapist every Tuesday and I never miss the appointment. It is getting better but sometimes I feel just like you when she has regression and become the monster that she could be....

Medication and therapist together will work but it takes a long time to work.

Just a few minutes ago while talking to my girl she tried to hit me on the face for not reason. I remind her I am her mother and I deserve all her respect..

By the way I am also dealing with a cat that I think has aspergers. At this moment the cat is over my dresser dropping in the floor all my cosmetics and whatever is over the dresser....

I am throwing him in the basement right now....

( ) New Member in need of Support!Hi My name is Tammi, stay at home mom with 4 children. My oldest son Mackay is 12 years old and has aspergers syndrome. I've searched the internet over for support groups. I live in utah in a small community and I'm struggling to find support any where!I'm at my wits end, I'm in tears writing this. We had the weekend from hell.......I feel very alone and I'm not coping with this at all right now.We started Mackay on medications about 3 months ago for the very first time. He's taking rispedal and paxil. He got too out of control to handle. He's very violant....he screams and yells if he doesn't get his way, he lashes out and hurts his siblings. He refuses to do any thing that is asked of him, but demands that I do whatever he wants immediately. He's exetremely selfish. He calls me all sorts of names, he tells me how much he hates me, idoit, and that I'm stupid all the time. Yet he needs constant reassurance that he's loved. He acts like he not capable of doing anything, for example cleaning his room has become a nightmare, he's been in his room for hours and refused to lift a finger. I'm getting constant calls from his school because he refuses to do his work. He got suspended about 3 months ago for punching a kid....that's when I didn't feel like we had any choice but to medicate. I could go on and on all day.....I'm just overwhelmed and basically I'm not coping all, I just don't know what to do any more...I need help!
