[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a parent with an Asperger's non-conforming child, my advice is to stop feeling "shame" and do something already.

There is clearly something going on with your child and you have to get to the bottom of it without coming from a place of anger or shame. Rope in the ped, who can recommend a psychologist. Call the school counseling office if you want them to get involved. Help your child instead of castigating her.

OP, I totally get your feelings as a parent, but you are making your kid's behavior into a big pity party for yourself.  Stop internalizing your dd's actions.  Parenting is not about controlling our kids, it is about guiding and helping them become healthy confident adults.  You can't force her to be 'good', but you can support her and enforce consequences and help her through whatever difficulties she is having right now.  It may be hard, but you have to stop thinking of this in terms of how it defines *you* as a parent.  It is just MS, hopefully you can help her before there are permanent effects.[/quote]
