Aspie son age 5 - ipswich - feeling a bit lonely

ByronsMummy08

Hi, my son was recently diagnosed with aspergers. Although I wasn't surprised, like many of you have said, it's still a bit of a shock when you finally get the diagnosis. Waiting to attend a course at the moment. My son doesn't get invited on play dates or many birthday parties but he would so love some friends. I also find it difficult to mix in big groups, think I might have aspergers too!  If there is anyone out there that would like to meet up please msg me. Or just chat on here/Facebook. X

  • Hi. Me and my son are both aspies age 51 and 19 respectively. My son was diagnosed at age 9 and me at 40. I would like to just say that it can be abit like the blind leading the blind but on the other hand me and my son have amazing times that only aspies could share. Life will always be a struggle for you and your son just as any parent will tell you but I think what ive learnt is that what I worry about for my son is not what he worries about and ive learnt to let him dictate to a certain degree how he wants his life to be. I have my own issues aswell and i find that i can sometimes explain to my son why he might feel a certain way but also show him that its sometimes good to feel the fear and do it anyway. Everyone has a differet journey and you will find your own coping strategies as you go along. Please be patient with yourself, you will find your own path.
