Informing my mother

Post Reply New Topic

I've been sure I've had Aspergers for roughly two years now but it is only recently that I voiced my concerns to my mother, whom I live with. However, before she makes any decisions about me perhaps seeing an expert, she wants to see information on Aspergers. However, no site seems to have all the facts, such as regular symptoms, link to insomnia and asexuality, who is likely to have AS and so forth. Does anyone know somewhere where all such issues are laid out, so I can show my mother? I'm not good at finding information or summarising it, and in all honesty I need both.

Sorry to inconvenience you all.

Here's some summaries I've found. Hope some of it is helpful:

You can also have her read Tony Attwood's book Asperger's Syndrome. You can get it off Amazon.com or at many bookstores.

Best Wishes!

Depending on how old you are I would also recommand a book like Freaks Geeks and Aspergers as it describes alot of stuff that sites dont go into.
