Adult Aspbergers

Hi, I just wanted to say hello; I have a 30 year old son who has just been diagnosed with Aspbergers Syndrome. My son is high functioning and struggles with stress and anxiety, particularly in new situations or with his view of what is happening in his life.

I have known for all of the thirty years that my son was different and have tried to support him in any way that I can. I have struggled with everyones perception of how my son presents himself and even family have turned away as they believe that he can control his behaviours. Im sure that many of you understand my feelings of isolation and despair as I have tried to cope with the situation alone.

I would love to hear from anyone in a similar situation or from anyone who has any advice for me.

  • Hi thank you so much for your comments, anything that lets me know that others understand is just wonderful. I know that Autism is very different for every individual but Im sure that we all encounter the same lack of knowledge and understanding from everyone including the people nearest to us. Take care and thank you again.
