is there a forum for families with mental illness, such as schizoaffective disorder and autism ?
I belong to a family w/o a mother [lost her to schizophrenia in 1951]. Daughter has been on a journey of nightmares and overcoming them [schizoaffective disorder]. These are the strongest people I have ever known in my life. Now, My grandson has autism. He's got a neat personality. I guess I've read every book on each one of these subjects that have ever been printed. O.K.-me? Well, I started having panic anxiety attacks on the freeway after years of traveling to and from work daily. What did I do? I moved to a small town w/o a freeway, of course. My question? Is there a forum for a daughter/mother/grandmother to be able to interact with others? I'm tired of reading books by myself Thanks.
i am not sure i will answer you question but i am biopolar and so was my mother and now i have a 14 year old that was diagnosed with a high functioning autism called asperger syndrome...i dont know iit is related or not
