Hey, everyone!

My 4 year old son was diagnosed with HFA last week. I have three meetings over the course of the next three weeks, so I wanted to find out as much about ASD as I could, so here I am. I've picked up a couple books and I spend most of my day reading Autism forums, books and various other articles, but to be quite honest.... nothing seems to help me understand better, than reading your personal experiences, so I thank you... Thank you!

I haven't a clue about etiquette on this forum. As a NT, is there places I should stay away from, posting wise? I don't want to step on anyone's toes.

Thanks!
