I have a 20-year-old son, with Asperger’s syndrome, I was diagnosed when he was 3 years old, he always likes to be alone and without noise, he uses earplugs, he wears the same type of clothes, and color, he eats the same thing for for a while and when you change food for approximately one year with the same diet. , he does not like to waste time, he is not interested in listening to jokes, jokes and he does not like to lie, and he laughs very little
He is not interested in using anything brand name, just as long as it works for his needs, he uses a 400 peso cell phone that they sell in an Oxxo.
My problem with him is that I can’t do things my way because he wants me to do them his way and if that’s not the case, we start with arguments, angry lawsuits and I try not to get into a lawsuit because it can last from a day to a week or so. months. And when that happens, there is no longer any communication with him. When he gets angry, he hits himself in the head.
There was one time he got angry with me and started hitting himself in the head and the only thing I told him was that it didn’t hurt me, so he said he was going to cut himself with a knife, I let him cut himself, it hurt him and he didn’t do it again. . It hurts us as mothers but we have to make them understand that they are hurting themselves and not us..
He has better relationships with adults than with boys his age.
He feels much safer at home when someone tells him what is going to be done that day, who is coming or who is going to do work every day.
My son wanted to go to study in Mexico, at the age of 16, with the pain in my soul I had to let him go. Yes, I suffered a lot because he didn’t go out here at all and thinking about how he was going to do there alone and without knowing anyone, but he started to become more independent.
He usually talks to himself or talks alone, until now I don’t know why he does it.
They don’t like sudden changes, when they go somewhere they always come and go the same way.
When my son was around 3 years old, we went on a trip, and he was asleep the whole way. When we got to the vacation spot, he started crying a lot for no reason and it was crying as if he were in pain and for a long time and so on. The same thing happened when we got back home, now that I know it better I think it was due to the sudden change from one place to another
My son is very nervous, apprehensive. He gets frustrated when things don’t go his way, he always wants to be first and always be right.
They don’t know how to drive, they don’t learn because they’re not interested, that’s part of what they say, but it’s also because they get very nervous trying to learn.
I didn’t have a problem with his behavior when I was little because he always wanted to be alone. He never wanted to go out with friends or to family gatherings. I tried to get him to go out with friends but he never wanted to.
I hope this comment helps you or you see the difference between people who have Asperger’s.
