But she is a freshman this year and she is not focused like before. She brought home 4 's this midterm. She always had that phone in her hand and never wants to do anything with the family. Unless someone is buying her something or she is getting her way. I am about to pull my hair out over her. She is so mean to get brother. St is almost out of control. I need some pointers.

N matter how much reason I bring into this, unless mom says no, nothing will change<br />Today's parents are helpless because they are.<br />My parents never allowed what is allowed in today's homes.<br />The first thing we are dong is moving to a different school district. We moved to a higher-end city for the schools. Now that it means nothing, we will find more affordable housing. There is no reason to pay for C's and D's. Then, facebook is gone.<br />I hated that from the time she joined it, BUT her mother let her.<br />It feel sad to watch a child slowly be allowed to throw their life away because my wife refused to see the obvious.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09983011379204876020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31943569.post-1960680268375068562012-01-19T08:57:20.381-08:002012-01-19T08:57:20.381-08:00Thank you so much Mark.

I sympathize with you because I feel the same...Hi!<br /><br />I sympathize with you because I feel the same about my 9-year old son as far as wanting nothing more than to see him smile and enjoy life! I feel frustrated that the school doesn't understand him though they are trying. Some people learn differently and need a different environment to thrive in as far as school. Have you talked to Dr. Hutton online? I haven't yet, but may if I can't find a solution in my area. There is a great school for Aspergers in my area, but Townships don't want to pay for it. Sometimes, you have to keep pushing and going up the ladder until you find the right environment for your child. Have you also tried psychiatric analysis and any meds? It's not my favorite route, but it may help if your child has depression.<br /><br />The fact that you know the Beautiful spirit that your daughter is and love her so much, I know you both will suceed. Wishing you both the best, and TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31943569.post-37075661835667161202012-01-18T07:10:57.229-08:002012-01-18T07:10:57.229-08:00I have prayed for a solution to my daughters rude ...I have prayed for a solution to my daughters rude behavior, aggression and defiance for a long time. I dont know how we got here. I have watched a bright ,beautiful, happy, well adjusted child turn into a completely different person who is so lost and lonely. She is 17 and for so many years I have tried EVERYTHING to better her life and health. I firmly believe there is no one in my area that truely understands Aspergers Syndrome and all that comes with it. (I live in Youngstown,Ohio)<br /> <br />I NEED MY DAUGHTER BACK! I love her so much and want nothing more but to see her smile and enjoying LIFE! I have let her suck me into being someone I dont want to be. I am burned out and wasting away into an angry bitter parent. I am tired. I hope you can help me. She has a beautiful spirit under all of this muck! I just hope i can find a way to get the real her back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
