| I wish we could get them together too. We're in No. CA, our son is in San Jose at school. He's bound an determined to move back "close to us", but we have no universities near us that have anything close to video game design. Now he's decided that he's going to major in creative writing, so he can w... |

| Hi all, I appreciate your postings on separation anxiety. You all are very brave to have moved away from family/friends to pursue your education. I was never brave enough to do that when I went to college. I have a 23 year old son (undiagnosed, but I'm certain he is on the spectrum) who went to a lo... |

My son is at a local JC (third year) and wants a degree in video game design. We're in No. California and he needs to choose a "transfer school" that has a video game design degree. Any advice?
Thanks. |

| Don't despair, my son has never been able to write legibly. In fact, when he started college we got him a laptop because he said he couldn't read the notes he took in class. In CA they start touch typing classes in 3rd or 4th grade. He is a very fast typist now and thank God for spell check (he was ... |

| I appreciate the support and information. I guess this too will pass. Dad and I try to not make a big deal of his "eccentricities". That's all parents can do, is provide love, boundries, support and hope for the best. But it is hard to watch, knowing how he is perceived by his peers and how hard he ... |

| Thanks for your replies. I've been toying with whether or not to mention Aspergers to him and help him look into it. He knows he is different, he's bright and pretty self-aware, but I don't want to open a Pandora's box and make him feel that he is labeled. Some people do better with diagnosis, some ... |

| :D Bless you all for your kind words. It gives me hope that he can do well in this world being himself. We have more adult friends (he is an only child) that appreciate M and constantly tell us what a great person he is. So, I guess as he gets older, more people will "get" him. He will be starting o... |

| Thanks everyone, just knowing that others have gone before and come through it is a great help. I want to help my son be all that he can be, not for my ego, but for his benefit. Adolescence is hard enough, but it sounds like many aspies are successful, fulfilled people. That's all I can ask! I appre... |

| Hi, I'm a mom of an 18 year old son. M although he is a wonderful person, loving, smart, talented in music, has just always been different from his peers. He is in his senior year of high school and the last two years especially have been a struggle for him. Elementary school was hell and I was worr... |
