hi Claudia,Jim&Family, Well sweetheart u sound like u are down but
gee I know exactly how u are feeling. Well lets see the Panic attacks
i suffer with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and yep guess what
Mitchell is my Obsession, so it is quite normal and having a young
baby would not help u at all. The string thing i have been in to a
chat site and have talked about the syndrome that our kids have, so i
just tell them to look at Deana's web site,. I have talked to a lot
of people including a woman who is studying her PHD at University,
and she also has ASberger's her self, because Autism is such a wide
spectrum disorder.I have beeeen searching about Autism and other
syndromes and i have no doubt in my mind that Autism is a part of
FHS. So that is why i am having Mitchell assessed in May. The odd and
hyperkinetic behaviour is exactly the same as Autism. No medical
person or another person will tell me otherwise i think Mitchell will
be diagnosed as having FFHS and High Functioning Autism which is a
lot better than him having severe Autism. As far as the so called
people who are your friends Claudia if they were true friends they
would try to understand Monicas condition, i have the same trouble
here and i have found my friends in different areas because the old
ones just don't know are scared of the syndrome and plus they just
have not got the time for some one who has a child with a
disability.Well sweetheart as my mum would've said to me Keep your
chin up walk tall and keep on smiling. Lots of Love to you and all
the family From Lyn*****
