First off, let me introduce myself... I am Jennifer Luckett, it is very nice to meet you. Thank you for taking a few minutes to check out my blog. This is all new to me, but I am going to start this in hopes of letting people in on our lives in living with Aspergers Syndrome. So many people make so many assumptions and most of them are.... wrong. We have lots of ups and downs, but people, an Autism Spectrum Disorder doesn't ruin life and it doesn't do away with all the "normal".. it just changes it. Our daughter Kendall is 10 right now and was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome about 2 years ago. It explains some of the things we had gone through up until that point and I was finally thankful that a doctor was on the same page with me on thinking maybe this was her problem instead of nonstop trying to treat her for ADD/ADHD or manic depression.
I am going to blog on the weekends and just give everyone insight on what goes on in our lives. I am keeping a "Kendall Keeper" during the week to keep up with what she goes through and maybe figure out what triggers her meltdowns and high anxiety moments and plan to share them. Maybe this will help some parents or even adults realized you are NOT alone in what you go through and hopefully we can share some advice on parenting and living with Aspergers.
