Welcome to my new blog, The Aspie Parent. I hope you like what I’m planning.
Yes, the blog title is ambiguous … is this blog for parents of kids with Asperger’s Syndrome, or for parents who have Aspergers themselves?
Yes. This blog is for both.
I am a parent, and I have Aspergers. One of my kids (who has the pseudonym Ocelot online) has been diagnosed with PDD-NOS, Asperger’s cousin. Somehow, I managed to get things more or less right, and I realize I have a lot of tips for other parents of kids who are either on the mild end of the autism spectrum or have similar learning differences.
As a parent with Aspergers, I also have stories of times when my AS made being a good mom difficult.
And there are a huge number of resources out there — some good, some less so. I plan on reviewing some, and inviting others to also review books, DVDs, courses, and the like.
In this blog, I hope to establish a community where we can talk about what it’s like to deal with Aspergers and children.
Now, back to learning how to manage a WordPress blog.
Liz,
Congratulations on writing your new blog! Can’t wait to read it!!
Your friend and fellow mother lover of AS,
Rosie
Looking forward to learning lots!!
Liz, it was only a matter of time…..looking forward to reading your thoughts by aspies, for aspies, and about aspies.
I’m so glad you are doing this – just what I’ve been searching for and from a a wise and cool mama like you!
Looking forward to reading, learning and maybe babbling on a bit myself. My sincerest wishes for a big success!
friendly wishes!
