Developmental Disabilities/Asperger's/Autism

LipstickLola · 11-10-2010, 01:33 PM

I have an adult child with developemental issues. She is 25. Along our educational journey, there was never any distinct label given to her. She has a broad range of disabilties spanning the Aspegers to Autism spectrum.
Society sucks and now? along with all of that, she recently had a total mental breakdown. Treating her with medication is difficult due in part to her abilities. At this time, she is as an infant in an adult body
As her mother, it is one of the saddest, most gut wrenching things I've ever dealt with. I have a special place in my heart for all of you who traverse this path.

People are very cruel. When I was working, I was falsely accused of raping 8 women at one time. Nothing ever came of it because they each lied. There was nothing on the videotape. They had me investigated. There was nothing to be investigated. The police and corporate security were involved. It was horrible. Rosie and I had to hire an attorney. At the same time, it is my reputation that is destroyed. Do you think these 8 women care now about what they did to me? Heck no.

Things like that happen all - the - time. No surprise here.

Does anybody know of anything they can do for TBI?? Just curious I went to vocational reahabilitation but that was a long time ago and still have a hard time with just daily chores and work related issues...

There are no surgeries or treatment plans. Medicines are available to control and relieve the after-effects. Not that much is known about the brain.

TBI is when you have a violent blow to the head where the brain and the inside of the skull hit each other.
