Dad reports this morning:
Tommy reluctantly got up and got dressed. Joined his brother outside to help walk the dog until the bus arrived.
Current theraputic approach: We are continuing to try to exude happiness and just be extra tolerant of Tommy. We are not succeeding as well as we did last week.
Asperger's Disorder is a milder variant of Autistic Disorder.
... In Asperger's Disorder, individuals are characterized by social isolation and eccentric behavior in childhood.
...Clumsiness is prominent both in their articulation and gross motor behavior.
... leaves no space for age appropriate, common interests. ...
We will document our trials, tribulations, good times and efforts to give our son a normal life and perhaps help other Asperger parents in the process.
