Mom to an 8yo Aspie Boy

[suzanneism]

Good morning! I'm here to learn and be the best aspie mom I can be. My sweet little man is big into Doctor Who, older technologies (he has a manual typewriter and is interested in film projectors, telegraphs, and phonographs), he is also an avid reader, big on memorizing facts. He's a hand flapper when he's super excited about something. He struggles when he's frustrated, still working on learning to express himself.

Hi and welcome!!!

I am an Aspie mom doing my best to raise my 7 year old Aspie daughter who is also trying to work on expressing herself. Life can feel really really hard sometimes!

Thank you for the welcome! I'm grateful for the team that works with my boy. He used to be 100% echolalic. He still scripts a lot, but we can have conversations now and he has improved so much. Still a long way to go, but it's nice to know that kids like ours have moms like us who work hard to help them make themselves understood.
