| What an interesting topic...I've enjoyed reading all of your responses. It enlightens me so... Being the parent of an AS son who's now 17 has been a joy for me, as well as the most difficult task (if you would call it that) that I will ever face and have ever faced. I had an extremely difficult deli... |

| I just thought I'd say that I think you should use everything POSITIVE about the syndrome, as there are so many positive aspects. My son is 16 years old now, but since kindergarten he was diagnosed with ADHD. It wasn't until 4th grade that he was properly diagnosed, but they still had him on ritalin... |

| I can't thank you all enough for the input. That's exactly what I was hoping for were comments from other parents dealing with the same types of issues.

| Wow, pretty hard-hitting SilentJohn. Don't think that I deserved that attack. You're pretty angry. You know, when I posted my topic, I sure didn't expect to be attacked the way you did. Gee, I was just trying to get a little input from people that might have a little positive input on how I can bett... |

| As the single mother of a 16 year old with Asperger's Syndrome, I have been dealing with total guilt which seems to want to consume me as of late. My son is an extremely wonderful boy, but deals with such trials and tribulations on a daily basis, and has for as far back as I can recall. I feel guilt... |

My son has Asperger Syndrome and is 16. He still shows more interest in games/computers than girls. He says he is just not ready yet, but will be when he's 17.  |
