    Misunderstandings

    Hi Magna :-) When were you diagnosed? Are your other children older or younger than your son and how is his relationship with them? It's sad but Landon isn't really close to any of his siblings...I wish my oldest son lived closer so maybe they could be closer. There are 13 years between them...

    Hey Ken...how old were you when you were diagnosed? Since she likely was also on the spectrum did she seem to understand you more than other people? My son also has OCD (truly has it, not the losely thrown around "I'm so OCD" people say all the time) and I also have a diagnosis of it so that...

    I had to take him out of school to preserve his self-esteem along with needing to make sure he learned. Even in first grade he was already being treated so bad and not just by the other kids...the teachers were mistreating him. Even years later it makes me so mad to think of how they treated...

    Thank you Sky. Being a mom is all I ever wanted and was blessed to get to do it four times :-) There has been nothing in my life more rewarding than being a mom. It hasn't been all easy for sure but the good far outweighs the bad.

    Tom, this is so encouraging to read. I can't help but worry what Landon will do as an adult. I know he will find his way...right now it's just not very clear what that will be. I will definitely never give up on him and will help him any way I can. People comment a lot on how patient I...

    It's so cool meeting people from all over the world on here. So, they had you on medications for schizophrenia? If so, then that couldn't have been good for your body and mind. I absolutely would have sued them, too. Sounds like you've been through a lot in your life.

    Thank you Moshi :-) I've only been here a short time and have already met a few really nice people who are so easy to talk to. I will always work harder and harder to understand him because I am his biggest fan. It's been a bit of a rough ride the past year/year and a half but I know a lot of...

    Thank you so much Federico :-) Our last names are very similiar...I am a Hernandez. I don't look like one do I lol. I know that I am Landon's biggest advocate and will spend the rest of my life making sure he is okay. There is no way I would ever give up on him and I pray often that God...

    Thanks Ken :-) Are you a parent or on the spectrum yourself? It's hard keeping everyone straight here but I'm trying.

    I've been here a couple of weeks but haven't done an introduction yet...still trying to find my way around. My name is Vicki and I am the mother of three "kids"...not so much kids anymore and I live in Louisiana. I have a 30 year old son in Colorado, a 27 year old daughter an hour from me who...
