  • Hi 

    Both my sons have ASC and they are truly amazing people.  Sure we have had a bumpy road and life can be challenging, but the rewards are so much more.  A psychiatrist once said to me that at least my sons won't be out setting fires to bins.  I know many NT's of the same age who are out drinking, doing drugs and having under aged sex.  I don't know any aspies who would break the law in these way.

    However, one thing I learnt early on was never ask an aspie "does my bum look big in this?"  Smile

    Don't worry too much, enjoy their specialness.
