Coaching Asperger

I am a life coach who specializes in working with adults with Asperger Syndrome (CoachingAsperger.com). This blog is a series of letters to my son, Darren, who has Asperger Syndrome, and his responses; it was written while he was in high school. As I continue to learn while I work with my clients, I also guide my own son, who has taught me more than I can imagine. He is now doing very well in college, and I am extremely proud of him.

Hiding feelings and showing feelings

Dear Darren,

Today I am tired. If I show my entire tiredness today, then you would not get a good letter. You would just get one that says, “Yawn, yawn, yawn, yawn, yawn…” So I’m going to hide my tiredness so I don’t make you tired too! Sometimes it is useful to hide some of our feelings. But it is also useful to let you know that if this letter is short today, it’s not because I don’t love you. It’s just because I’m tired!

Love,
Mom
