Adult Aspbergers

Aspie Mum

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 Jon thank you for your comments. Yes, I love my son and am very proud of his achievements so far, I will continue to support him while I am able; I just worry for him when I am no longer able to do this. I dont like labels just because someone does not fit the accepted norm but in some ways, getting the diagnosis opens doors for other support so Im grateful for that. Thanks again.
