My son is 8 with a diagnosis of AS since he was 4yrs old. I have a 4 year old that shows some of the inflexability and structure issues of AS. I too question my abilities to parent. I believe parents of children with AS are more vulnerable to a heighten sense of evaluation - ourselves, spouses, children. The key is to recognize it and know how you want to respond to it. Remember to take one problem at a time. And don't forget the problems already solved in the past. Perhaps your spouse did something neat last week to help. Capture that positive moment when your spouse is not at his best. The same with yourself and your child. Change takes time. And it starts with honesty and an image of what and where you want to go. A normal house can happen between Asperger moments. With aspergers a lot has to do with how we communicate. Communicate your wish for specific goals. Communicate if you are being heard. I think your struggle is shared by many. You are not alone. I bet families with children not diagnosed with this problem of AS also struggle. Remember kids with AS go throught the same stuff as non AS kids. Its just that the problems can be bigger and last longer. So starting with the "typical" stuff is a good start. Good luck
