I'm aware I haven't written anything for a while. We've had Zack at home for the last ten days or so and this has raised all the usual suspects: sadness, exhaustion, frustration, fear, despair... Monsters all.
I don't have the energy to sift through the jumble and make sense of where we are, but I did find an amazing poster that I have made my profile picture on facebook. it is a ransom note:
We have your son (it reads). We are destroying his ability for social interaction and driving him into a life of complete isolation.
It's up to you now.
Asperger Syndrome.
It encapsulates how I feel. And I have done all I can. School is the best we can offer him to fight back and be himself within this condition. But at home, ...
Well, let's say that things aren't good, and I find hope a preciously rare commodity.
Anyway, as I wrote up top, I'm simply not up to, or ready to make sense of it all. I hope to be able to before Tuesday so that I may send some notes to school, but I suspect we will need a face to face talk with school staff to know how to move forward.
Right now he is at his grandparents and I have just had a nice chat with him on the phone. Happy. Very obsessed by his current topics: lego, Scratch (programming animations). Totally oblivious to the pain and hurt he left behind.
