Quote From: karen_kikiAlex can be the most wonderful young man and very much in control however when his meds don't work, or he oushes the therapy out of his brain, which is not always aware he is doing it, he will have these fits, rages and creates complete disruption in our lives, that includes his own.
Alex is a very smart young man and very talented. He has so much potential but our fear in life is that one of his rages will bring that all to a halting end.
As any parent wants the best for thier child so do we.
We hope that you will find some answers in our story and that we can continue to email and contact each other. We are not alone and we and our children deserves answers as well as support to make it one day at a time.
My thoughts are with you as we take this journey in life.
I met someone a few years back who chose not to be my friend. Her reason was that if we didn't have Special Needs Children we would not have met or had anything in common, and she didn't want our children to link us together. I feel very sad for her as friends are important in life, and friends who understand and care are invaluable. I am reaching out to be your friend as we all need support.

That is unfortunate about your friend not wanting your children's disabilities to link you together, I have met new and wonderful friends because my daughter has autism, people I would not have met otherwise. Best wishes to you and Alex. I will be taping the show on Tuesday...
