This last weekend, we met some other Aspergers families at a city park. I looked forward to being around other people similar to us. It was really nice talking to some of the parents and discovering that they had experienced some of the same things I had.
For instance, I still have resentment (I know, I have to get over it) towards the speech therapists that my son saw. At the time, he was four and had no diagnosis (didn't know he needed one). Speech therapy with him was fruitless, I felt. But I doubted myself too. Eventually, we quit. My son had doors in his mind that were clearly locked and the therapist did not have the right keys. Very frusterating. I discovered that two of the other parents had the same experience.
How affirming - to know that you're not crazy and difficult. We're definitely going back to this group. Besides, I need to pick their brains on their experiences with diet change/DAN doctors/naturopathic medicine.
