Hi All,
I have just this minute joined this site, having found out a few weeks ago that our oldest son- aged 9, has Aspergers. I am over the moon at the diagnosis, as I have tried for a long time to get a medical professional to agree with my susspision. I have, over the last 4 years been turned away by many Doctors and other healthcare professionals and been told I am just an overprotective parent. However we are finally here!
I have treated our son and bought him up as an Aspergic child even without the diagnosis, as I knew without doubt that's what he had. Whilst for me the diagnosis was great, for our son it has been recieved very badly. He agree's that what he has, but feels there should be a medicine to fix him. He is currently very emotional- bless him.
Anyway, I hope to learn much from this forum. I am a forces wife and so fairly cut-off from civi- society as we currently live outside the U.K, on a posting.
so........ Hi!
