So I did intend to keep up on this blog really well but as you can see I am not really free much of the time. things have gotten better with my son who has AS but my youngest is now 5 and has been diagnosed with Sensory Processing Disorder and ODD an ADHD also. So I am dealing with 2 special needs kids and my daughter is being affected. We just completed a Psychological Evaluation for my oldest after he was hospitalized in April when he violently attacked his Spec. Ed. teacher. We have since changed schools changed meds moved into a new house and a new state since I last blogged. The change was difficult but we all adjusted. And I am Happy to report Justice is doing amazing in school. He loves his new teacher and his grades are improving. I was told to never expect him to do well in his grades but he is functioning at grade level. Where as last school year he was 2yrs below grade level. He is still violent but not as often. He is learning to think about what he does before he does it. he did however yesterday tried to cut himself. I'm not sure whether or not he was bluffing for attention or if he was serious as I didn't really let it get that far. Now as far as my daughter she is the middle child and only girl. She is an extremely talented dancer/gymnast. She loves to sing. And is very artsy like me. But she acts out in hitting shoving and screaming. This has gotten worse since I found out she was being bullied at school. She was very responsible about it and told me right away. But it is still a work in progress. I went down to the school and talked to the counselor  the principle and the teacher. I think we have it nipped in the bud. So That is my life update in a nutshell. Have a great day everyone and God Bless You All

Day 1 of Blog. Violence and Asperger's Syndrome or AS

Okay so I have never had a blog before so please bear with me. I found out my oldest son Justice has Aspergers Syndrom or AS. Some people tell us it is a high functioning Autisim or that it is only related to it. We are not sure. However it does present it's challenges. Most reciently violence. He has had this problem in the past but we found medication that worked for him. Now I believe that his body as gotten use to  the medication. I feel bad because I have two other children both younger than him. He is 7  his sister is 5 and brother is 3. Whenever they do  something that  he doesn't like he has started spin kicking, slapping, punching, amd shoving. If he can do it he does.
   I have been sitting here complaining to my husband that I feel like we have run out of options. I want to be able to spend equal amount of time with each of my children. I feel like I am not being fair because I have to use so much time to deal with Justice. The other kids are now old enough to notice that they are not getting the attention that he does. I feel like I am failing. I know this is not suppose to be about me but it is. Some members of our family think that they can do a better job at parenting my son than I can. I would love to see how they could handle all three of my kids for more than a week and not giving them everything that they want. Anyhow that is all for now I am done venting for today.
