Real Life Stories

hi every one im the mother of the world cup mascot spike who was diagonosed with aspergers syndrome,as you can understand what spike did in south africa took a great amount of courage for him.I am so proud of him and the way he overcame his problems to be an england mascot he strolled out with Rob Green and i for one thank Rob who actually asked spike if he was ok.

I just thought, that the proverbial "they" might be right, and it might help me to talk about my brother.

I remember from a young age the arguments.

Constantly my parents would be on edge, and snapping at one another, and all due to my brother.

He never slept. He answered back. And could get violent very quickly.

Not exactly the ideal little bundle of joy!
