This post is amazing. We were told our oldest son is "on the spectrum"--sensory processing disorder, some asperger's traits, etc. A diagnosis of PDD-NOS/ADHD.
"As I go forward from here. I go with the idea that I am trying to change my son into something he is not, but to help him in any way I can. To be the best that he can be." -- This is exactly where we're at. We're figuring it out slowly. He's not difficult to communicate with in general, but to communicate with him effectively and in a positive way is a challenge. His mind has a way of twisting words into something that's not being said...he's just wired differently. *shrugs*
So good luck to you and your family on your journey. :)
