My heart goes out to you. There are many good books available to help us understand Aspergers. I recommend that you search on Amazon under the subject. A very wise person pointed out to me that a relationship takes two people that "gotta wanna" make…

Monster Jam 2010

Ok, I'm not sure if it's a good thing to feed into obsessions, but that's what we did tonight. Ever since last year when my girlfriend Jen took Jerry to Monster Jam, he's been an addict. He watches it twice a day (if we let him) on the Speed chan…

I'm so sorry to hear you went throught this. It must be so difficult with your young daughter, who must now be 2. I totally relate to having a detached husband, but he doesn't want to leave. I often have wanted to, but worry about the kids and wheth…

Eye Exam

I have to preface my eye exam story with some new info. on Jerry. He has been on Zoloft for over a year now for obsessive compulsive type behaviors, sniffing things, repeatedly touching things in certain ways, having to watch the same movies over and over again, repeating phrases, etc... I asked the neurologist the last time we saw her if we could try weaning him from it now and she gave us the go-ahead to cut him down by half a pill for the next three months, one month at a time, until he was o… Continue

Genetic Testing

Well, genetic testing was today. Five hours of driving to St. Pete, going over our families' histories of illnesses (as far as we knew or could remember), a physical exam for Jeremiah and rundown of his complete medical history, including every doctor or specialist he'd ever seen and why. Thank goodness I'm so anally organized and have a 3-ring binder with dividers full of "stuff about Jerry".

This was followed by a trip to the lab to test Jerry's urine and blood...six vials full of it! He was… Continue

Trying New Things

Elijah, like many kids with Asperger's, struggles with trying new things. It takes time for him to get used to new things, and sometimes he never does accept the change. He recently started taking a 3D animation class. Although the first day was hard for him, he is doing great. When he finishes the class at the end of next month, I will post his animation.

He loves to draw and is very talented. He really wants to become a cartoonist. He makes up his own characters, which I think is great. I thi… Continue
