I am SUPER DUPER excited!
Our therapist has set us up with another family that she sees.
They are about our age, and they have a 13 year old son that has Autism/Asperger's.
This probably doesn't seem like a big deal, but it is!
I do not know ANYONE with an Aspie child.
She tells me he has alot in common with my Josh.
He has alot of social skills issues which, in turn, makes it nearly impossible for them to make friends.
So, I am calling the "mom" tomorrow. We will chat. Exchange the boys' phone numbers.
They are going to chat. Hopefully they will hit it off and then we are going to meet for pizza or bowling or something so the boys can hang out and me and "mom" can get some much needed emotional support!
I sooooooo hope that we all CLICK and this is the start of something awesome.
It gets kind of lonely when you have no one that understands what you or your child are going thru.
I have searched and waited for something like this for a very long time.
Keep your fingers crossed for us and I will update soon!!
:) this is wonderful.
