Hi all,

I've recently attended an assessment as I've long suspected I'm an aspie but not had an official diagnosis, until now. It was confimed I have ASD and I'll receive a written confirmation in due course, as will my GP.

I'm 52, male and married with 2 kids who are grown up.

I've had life long trouble with maintaining relationships and sometimes been disciplined at work (not my current job) for making inappropriate comments. I was once fired for taking extended sick leave for anxiety and depression.

My wife is a saint. She has stuck by my these 30 years through thick and thin and has stood by me when lesser women would have run for the hills.

Anyway, that's me.

    Hello,

    I'm a parent that has an adult child who since 4 years old was diagnosed with Dyspraxia & Autism.  Throughout his school & college he was statemented & had support.  Since leaving education, the only support he receives is from myself (mum), his dad & brother.  He went to councilling 2 days ago & the lady called me in, with his permission, she said she feels has  80% autism & Aspergers & 20% dyspraxia.  We had noticed his change but just thought it was a part of him growing up. We didn't expect that.  The councillor is going to contact our Gp to ask for the relevant tests to be done to confirm this. A friend suggested i join here to obtain supprt & guidance.
