I know what it feel like to have this syndrome

 I know what it feel like to have this syndrome I have lived with it all my life. I didn't realize I had Asperger's till I was in my early 50s even though our son had been diagnosed. All I knew was I had social   anxiety and had a hard time in school  knowing I didn't fit in.  I wasn't able to get an education, you would call part of my learning difficulties dyslexia.  When growing up in my day no one knew about these syndromes let alone treating them.  My mother tried to get help for me what she got told was she will grow out of it, and we were a working class family so being a girl they felt you would get married and have children, education wasn't important. Later in life this caused me a great deal of frustration  because I knew I was bright and intelligent . When you can't read it limits you in so many ways, I had opportunities that came my way that I had to say no to. I didn't learn to read properly till I was in my late 40s.  No one knew, because you learn to compensate so you have to be bright and come up with different excuses and you learn to rely on others. Every Asperger's person is different like I mentioned we are like colours of a rainbow so different in every way but so much a like in other way.

 I had a father who wasn't able to show me love like a father should

God has always been love to me

That bond with your child.

  It took a long time for me to really understand what true love really meant. That bond with your child and seeing they need you to be there for them no matter what. It gave me the power to fight and stand up for our son's rights. I wanted to make sure our son got an education and I would do everything in my power to make it became a reality. He would get the help he needed so he wouldn't feel like I did, he wasn't going to suffer what I went through as a child and not being able to have an education caused me many anxieties, fears and insecurity. We were very blessed he had some wonderful teachers but he also had some that were not as understanding which caused us a great deal of  stress.

 To start with you might feel these drugs

  I think it's  getting  better now there is more information out there and I hope more doctors are starting to realize that it's not in the child's best interest to use these psychotic drugs.  To start with you might feel these drugs are working but no matter what there are always side effects, there is no quick fix.  If you understand this syndrome then drugs would be the last choice. Why would they give a drug like Risperdal to a child who is full of anxiety and fear? It's because that's what they have been taught .  You have to look at the whole picture why is this happening? These children can't speak up, we as adults make the decisions.  Do you know how they feel? Just look in to their eyes when they are on these medications. They have a very hard time to start with connecting, communicating and socializing and these drugs make it worse, it will take their personality away.  I can say that, because I speak from experience. Please look into other alternative solutions make sure you do it the right way because our children rely on us to take care of them.

 This is just one of the Drugs they are giving to our children
