Major major step forward for middle son at the weekend....his band played publicly for the first time!
Not so huge normally but two members (one of them is middle son) have Aspergers and music has given them a channel for their aggression and something to chill them out. They loved it and now want to do more!We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

Certainly was.....he had another breakthrough on Monday, he took part in a jam session without his bandmates. Ok it took a lot of nagging by his friends but he finally did it.
Not bad for someone who has to rehearse to death every single thing he plays...and he appeared to enjoy it a fair bit which is even more important.We made it!
