Hi all. Stumbled upon this site, I think from a newspaper article about Aspergers.

In any event, I'm a 40yo father of 3 boys.

My oldest has been diagnosed with Aspergers and in researching it, I came to the conclusion that I probably do as well and my father DEFINITELY has it.

I'm looking forward to learning some things and participating in some lively debates.

I never met an Aspie without a strong point of view.

Welcome to Wrong Planet. I've noticed a lot of parents realizing they have Asperger's after their children are diagnosed.

Well, for most of us, who ever heard of Aspergers? We were the kids that didn't meet their potential.
