I was at a wedding reception on saturday....and was chatting to the bride about my boys- she then said her son was recently diagnosed with ASD ,...and that her friend at the wedding has a son with Aspergers....
Now i was too polite to ask her to point him out ())....but i was 'drawn' to a lad who was intent on examining the display of bugles/trumpets fixed on the wall all over the place.
So i left the reception wondering if he was THE one....
So today i collected my 3 from the autism club- and THERE HE WAS!!!
Reason i'm posting this is that i feel so angry at the momnet that NOONE is listening to me about Alex- so i start to doubt myself- then seeing this lad today made me realise that I do know what i am looking at .
Hope i have not offended anyone...i wasn't lookingh at him as a Zoo exhibit....
It was good for me too to see a child with a dx of AS/ADHD (like my eldest) ...who was functioning at a similar level.....and to be drawn to him was a lovely feeling- as i want to train to work with AS/ADHD...and this experience backed up what i am told - that being that i am insightful.
BRAG over with!!!!
