About Me
- chaynie
- I'm the mother of two beautiful children with Asperger's and ADHD. My daughter's Asperger's is less severe than my son's. She attends a mainstream private school. My son attends a school where there are children with autistic spectrum disorders. My life is pretty much devoted to making theirs better. I believe a lot of children were misdiagnosed similarly to my son. He was orignally diagnosed as bipolar and oppositionally defiant. This infuriates me! If pyschiatrists would listen to parents and not just pull out the prescription pad things would be a lot easier. All the testing my children recieved was at my request. None of it ordered by doctors. If you want answers you have to be willing to look for them yourself, not depend on the doctor to do it for you. Sometimes you are your childs only advocate. You have to be strong and willing to fight to make sure his or her best interests are being taken into consideration. The artwork is a collograph done by my son. It features a robot destroying a city. It was done with found metal objects.
