About Me
I have 10 yr old son with Aspergers/ADHD combined type. Just looking for others who may have experienced similar situations and how they handled them. Always looking for new ideas never know when you're gonna need them.
Interests
Improving the quality of life. Teaching my son to be happy with who he is. Stopping the viscious cycle of codependency in my family. Nature, home improvement projects, gardening, sunsets and waterfalls. My faith, my family. I love to travel!

Hug
Hi Marci, Thanks for your message. Have you lived in the same place all your life? I have moved around such a lot, since childhood. We have been here about 6 years. We had a terrible time with the First schools, so I home educated Alex twice. He has now gone back to school, and the middle school seem much better with him now....sometimes I miss the freedom of home educating....and I wonder if we may have to do it again in the future if things go wrong again, but at least things are going well at the moment... Sometimes I still think we need a fresh start, and I won't turn down the opportunity if it comes our way... Anyway, it's nice to meet you....Look forward to getting to know you better. A big hug from me...

Hug
Hi Marci, I just wanted to say hello and send you a hug. Ellie.
Hug
hey, how does Darin like school so far? Mine start on the 2nd. Exercise - yeah well.... I am trying to be more active with the kids. We've gone to the beach a lot the last week or so. Yesterday we played in the surf. It was swelling and rolling. It was a blast. I did lose 5lbs in the last 10 days. I am praying it stays off. Sorry to hear about Darin's teeth. Did they get fixed before school. I hope so. I also take my girls to school to help them find their classes before the start of school. It really helps them out. I hope you are well. I'll talk to you soon.

Close Asperger Syndrome
My son is 10 years old, we found out he has AS about 2 years ago. It's been very interesting and exciting since. Alot of work but well worth the effort. He's great, I wouldn't trade him for the world, I have learned so much from him. I am constantly looking for new information to help him be successful in life and simply happy with who he is.
Treatments
- Adderall Working / Worked
Close Psoriasis
Affected Areas: Psoriasis of the SkinI have had psoriasis since I was 7 I am now 33. I pretty much have just learned to live with it. Just trying to keep it under control. My dad and grandfather had it. My son now has eczema. I try very hard to teach him how to keep it under control. I never want him to experience the embarrassment I felt. He has enough to deal with as it is, he has Asperger's Syndrome. I wouldn't wear shorts unless I had to for gym. It really affects your confidence.
Treatments
- Coal Tar Working / Worked
- Keeps the skin hydrated so it is not so dry and itchy
- Hydrocortisone Working / Worked
- only helped with itching. Didn't really make it go away
- Phototherapy Working / Worked
- Definitely works, but I don't want my skin to get leathery texture to it or skin cancer. When I had a really bad break out years ago it was the only thing that worked. I had it everywhere!! Horrible!!
- Triamcinolone Topical Working / Worked
- It worked but dr never told me it was a steroid that shouldn't be used long term. I used it from the time I was 14 to about 26. My shins are very sensitive now, that is where I have always had it the worst. I'd love to see my legs clear someday and not have to answer all the questions.
Open Eczema
My son is 10 and has eczema. I have psoriasis. I've had it since I was 7, so I am really sensitive about him having to endure things the way I did. I was always so embarrassed.
Treatments
Open Obesity
I have always been overweight. I would like to lose about 100 lbs and be able to be healthy and more active with my son and not so worn out. I just want to feel good when I put on anything in my closet. I just want to feel good about me.
Treatments
- Breast Feeding Working / Worked
- 10 years ago when I had my son I drop the weight rather quickly. But he is the only child I've had.
- Physical Exercise Working / Worked
- Not too much extra time in the past. I dance around the house for a half hour each morning and take walks when the weather is good
- Swimming Working / Worked
- I like to do this. I lost 20 lbs in college by swimming 3 days a week. That was more than 10 years ago. Not as easy to get to now.
- Weight Watchers Working / Worked
- Meetings weren't so convienient with my schedule at the time.
