Told my son he is on the autistic spectrum
Now he's playing me like a guitar and he's the plectrum!
Everytime he does something naughty or bad
'it's the aspergers and I can't help it dad!'
Oh my god what have I done?
Created an excuse for a naughty son!
He used to be really well behaved
But now he's in control and I'm the slave!!
But at least he took the news without any upset
And I'm glad he's aware now without any regret
Thankyou everybody who gave me such amazing advice

Age 6: Waaaaaah. MOMMY. I hurt myself!. Age 9: Oww. that hurt, Mom can I have a plaster. Age 12: Sh*t I cut my finger. Age 18: I know where the plasters are... Age 6: YAY.
My Beautifull kids I am so proud But why do you have to be so loud!. Abs is so funny and such a mucky pup Wanted to be a horse when she grows up Told everyone she was lesbian cause she loves her mum.
Teenage years Most parents fear. Not that I would know Still have awhile to go. My daughters not even one So worries I have none. Thinking back to mine I didn't exactly shine....
Mum, mum. It's not fair. Your sooooo mean. Why can't I have another ice cream. I hate your rules. I don't wanna go to bed I wanna stay up and play Mario instead.
With no sleep at all, head on fire, and a feeling of utter helplessness she decided she couldn't go to work. She'd never missed a day of work in her life. So reluctantly she made that phone call.
@MrsS @eddie12309 yeh he wasn't fazed at all by it,he's reading leaflets from the autistic society now and making notes!! To use against me no doubt!! ๐๐๐
@gazplend my little brother has Aspergers and yeah, he's played on it too sometimes to get outta stuff he doesn't want to do, but then that's what a typical teenager would do anyway, right? ๐
@MrsS he's got seven pages of notes already! Instead of obsessing about video games he's obsessing about aspergers! ๐
@Irrational_Kimmi yeh I think so,nightmare isn't it? Taking him to Cadbury world in Birmingham tomorrow and just drawing maps and directions for him to follow to stop
@gazplend Some of this may come in useful http://www.parentingaspergerscommunity.com/ also there are some fab videos for explanations and coping strategies on YouTube
@gazplend it's my passion to bridge the gap in mainstream education! Give me a shout if you need any more info
@gazplend I have always had admiration for very smart kids. Your son is one clever child. A genius. :)
