My name is Cherrie and I am new to this site. I have 3 boys 2 of which have autism spectrum disorders ages 12, and 10. They were both diagnosed at between 8-9 yrs of age. My 12 yr old is PDD with Tourettes, EBD, ADHD, Trichotillomania, Bi-Polar and anxiety and depression. and has been hospitalized twice to adjust medications because of anger issues. My 10 year old has Aspergers with OCD, ADHD, Anxiety and Depression and he is also hearing impaired. He has also been Hospitalized in the last 6 months to deal with depression. I am looking for other mothers who are dealing with similar situations to talk too.

Hi I am also a mother of three boys but mine are younger, 1,5, and 8. My 5 year old has Autism and SPD and though he is too young to be labled with other stuff I suspect, ADHD, OCD and Aspergers. I am in North Vancouver Canada. It helps to know you are not alone , I too could always use some one to talk to too.
