Hi everyone... some of you may remember me

My DS Aidyn is 6, and finishing up grade 1 this year. He was diagnosed with high functioning autism when he was 4.
I've been off the forums for so long, but I'm on uni holidays now, and realising how lonely and isolated I feel... would love to be able to connect again with people that understand what its like...
At the moment the main problematic issue I'm having with Aidyn are the interactions between him and his sister (she is nearly 3). He just has no patience for her, and when she gets in his way its constant screaming... and I mean constant and persistant, yelling, wailing, screeching at the top of his lungs. This in turn can escalate in physical fighting. He just cannot handle her - even if she comes remotely near to what he is playing with... and in turn I am tearing my hair out because I can't leave them alone for 2 minutes without all hell breaking loose. I'm finding myself getting more and more frustrated, and less patient with both of them...
I actually have booked an appointment at a new Triple P centre which has opened up just down the road, with a psychologist who specialises in ASD. Both me and XP are going to go together, because we are both having the same issue, and recognise that we need help...
Otherwise Aidyn is actually going really well... He goes to a primary school which has a SEU that specialises in ASD, so he recieves so much extra support at school, they are just SO well set up for kids like him. Throughout the year he has actually progressed to not needing so much specialised time in the SEU and is spending the majority of his time now in the classroom (there are a couple of ASD boys in his class, and always extra support teachers). He has a best friend (another gorgeous little boy with Aspergers), and can play happily with other kids too. He holds himself together really, really well at school, but it when he gets home (actually the minute we leave the school gate) that he just lets go and his anxieties and frustrations will get the better of him.

Anyway, thats enough from me... I'm going to read back a few pages in here to see where everyone else is at...
