Aspie son age 5 - ipswich - feeling a bit lonely

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

  • Thank you for the replies! I know I'm not on my own but am finding it daunting dealing with one thing after another. Guess I'd better get used to it! I'm the sort of person that likes to deal with something and tick it off the list but you can't do that with an aspie child. What worries me most is that school seem to raise a lot of issues but back down when challeneged. It's like they don't want to acknowledge his diagnosis. Do things get worse as your children get older? X
