[QUOTE="GrumMan, post: 79702, member: 1305"] All of the above advice is good. My son is DX'ed with classic autism. As you probably know, asperger's is high functioning autism on the spectrum. I know what you are going through. It is extremely tough. We've tetered on the brink of divorce many times. The meltdown's are huge and destructive. I would say study as much as you can about the disorder. Therapy and early intervention are crucial!!! My son is 15 now. We were told he'd never walk or talk. He started talking at about 6, but learned sign language easily. He's come a looong way. It's a constant fight with the school's, but learn the law's and fight for your son. They are about saving money, you are about saving your son. If you know the law's, you'll have the advantage. Do not give up! It's a constant fight. Med's work for some, not in my case though. Get with your doctor and discuss it. There are many available psychotropic meds available. Gotta experiment on the right one and dosage though. Many support group's out there for you. Keep in mind it's not easy on your wife either! You have to work together, or you'll work apart. Divorce rate among parent's of autistic's is about 92%! I've studied the autistic spectrum and all it's co-morbid effect's for about 13 year's now. Usually daily. Plus I live it 24-7. If ya need to talk offline, let me know. [/QUOTE]
