It was really, REALLY bad to be "warned" that you would regret the decision to withdraw from therapy. NOBODY knows the future. NOBODY can predict what your child will struggle with/succeed with. It's precious for us to find a support network we can safely discuss these things in with people who have "lived experience". Nobody quite "gets it" if they don't live with it themselves in some way. xx<br />Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09188171076845556572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8155890051907620847.post-18442452622511550232016-07-11T13:35:45.452-07:002016-07-11T13:35:45.452-07:00Thank you!

My daughter didn't get her first job or even an eftpos card or mobile phone until she was 19 now 20 and everyone thought she was a freak. I love been at home so do my youngest boys ages 11 and 3 but because of expectations on mr3 we have to go to therapies and we hate it. I took Mr 11 away from therapy with a psychologist as I felt it was not doing him any good but got told I would regret it as a teen and we will need crisis help. I really struggle been Aspie myself between what everyone else expects me to do and what I want to do.
