So after weeks of paperwork and insurance information, Quinn is finally going to get ABA therapy! Yay, now what the hell does that mean? I know it is going to help him but I still feel like I am in another world trying to understand the language. I don't know how to connect with other parents of kids with Aspergers, and when people say oh well he doesn't look like he is on the spectrum I want to smack them up side their head.
I don't know how to explain what Aspergers is and I shouldn't have to it is just a part of our lives. It is like a roller coaster that is terrifying at times and other times it is a smooth coast up a hill. The sensory issues he has are too many to count and we work hard everyday to make it as easy for him as possible.
Do we get frustrated and lose our patience, YES. If we didn't we would not be normal human beings, do we try to keep it together, of course we do. We do our best and love our son beyond measure, if there was a cure I would fight to be first in line right along with all the other parents of kids with Aspergers, ASD, SPD etc...
Our son is not a wild child that needs to be disciplined, he is a child with special needs. If you mess with him, Momma Bear will be there to protect him!!
