My eight year old son has just been diagnosed with Asperger's, and I wanted to join this community in order to gain some insights on his behavior and learn as much about it as possible. Thank you. :)

Hi -- welcome to this forum! I have two sons -- one diagnosed with PDD-NOS, 10 years of age, and the other is 20 and undiagnosed, but shares many of the characteristics of Aspergers. I have found more and better information on this site than anywhere else. When my son was diagnosed, I wanted so much to know what he was thinking, and how he responded to life in general. This is the best place to get an understanding of your son's perspective on things.

You've come to the right place. There's a section in this forum where you can talk to other parents with similar issues about parenting a child with AS, or some othe ASD.

Thank you, everyone, for the warm welcome! I have been going through some of the threads in the Parents forum and have found a lot of useful information in them. I'm very glad that I found this forum and I look forward to posting here. :D
