Hello. Just joined the group after my 19 year old son was recently diagnosed on ASD (old school Aspergers).
My head is spinning thinking about all the times in the past when we thought my son needed help but didn’t know what or why. Thinking about how things will work out in the future for him is just as mind blowing too.
I’d be happy to read any tips or advice from others that have gone through this initial stage with their adult children.
Thank you.
even better get Duncan on here hes the autistic one
I’m Duncan not my son. Easier said than done to get him engaged with the site.
sorry lmao I was talking to too many people at once
,,, dont think about the past. There is nothing can be changed in the past.
whats your son good at ?
describe him, his hobbies
what did the diagnosers say to you was his outlook and support needs
Thanks Aidie. I’ll take a look.
