Sean has Tourettes and ADHD which had its fair share of judgements by others who claim to know better. You guys are doing an incredible job with all your kids! <BR/>As someone (Michelle) once told me when I was venting on a post...

MUCH LIKE ANY NORMAL CHILD!! she was just venting. SHE HAD A BAD DAY! we all have em. get a grip will ya - sheesh. we have every intention of raising ethan to be a fully capable kid/adult. that being said he will have issues and problem that other kids don't. it can just be overwhelming at times. michelle is doing an incredible job with ethan. she homeschools him, brings him to his ot and doctor's appointments. as well as looks after his younger brother and sister. it is an amazing amount of work she does. so sorry if she had a bad day. get over it. we are very aware of how blessed we are to have ethan as our son. and that his issues pale in comparison to others. that being said it can be challenging at times and michelle was spent, she needed to vent. so she did. and that is it.<BR/><BR/>.mike<BR/><BR/>ps - oh yeah it was nice of you to hide behind some anonymous tag to make ad hominem attacks.Michael and Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16770559654447780046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22039860.post-250042190378924762007-11-11T21:41:00.000-05:002007-11-11T21:41:00.000-05:00i just came across your blog and i have a child wi...i just came across your blog and i have a child with asperger's syndrome as well - i hope that you are aware that your son's behaviors sound very age appropriate and that you will do best by him to remember that. if you only treat him like he has a problem, he might not amount to all that he would have otheriwse. as im sure you have read, there is now a girl on america's next top model who has a.s. her name is heather she is beautfiul and doesn an amazing job on the show. she takes criticism well, pushes herself to fit in with the other girls and has made it thru many many eliminations so far. she's always getting top marks! and this isn't just about her beauty. this is about the confidence and love that her family gave her - before going on the show she was a college student. COLLEGE. not some dummy special needs person. because aspergers isn't the end of the road - it's just a slightly different turn than you were expecting. heather's mom has said in interviews for americas next top model that she "wants to show that asperger’s doesn’t define her.” make sure you don't push your son into a hole where youre not giving him a chance to crawl back out of it. that would be a disservice to him and not the best parenting that you could possibly give. youve already come a long way and it sounds like you and your husband have faith and strength - use it to the very best benefit!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
