Hi everyone,
We thought we'd create a discussion where people can say hello and introduce themselves.
You don't have to say something here but it'd be nice to get a chance to say hello
Please remember that you should not share personal details (such as emails or phone numbers) to protect your privacy.
And don't feel you have to introduce yourself, it's entirely up to you and please only share what you're comfortable with.
Myself and partner are in the proccess of having our 4 year old son diognosed with Autism or Aspergers.
It looks extremely likely to us on first reading all about both that he will be one or the other.
It is all new to us but on first reading about it this does all make sense now concerning our sons behaviour.
To be very honest and straight which is the best policy I feel, I used to ignore these new branding of childrens behaviour as I just though it was good old fashion naughty children just being rebranded and it was a case of jobs for the boys and an industry being made out of it, but I can start to see that Autism/Aspergers is set apart from just being branded as naughty, I can see an illness in there now and one that surprisingly has been around for some time too on reading up in it although it wasn't commonly known and put out there when I was a kid in the 70's and 80's.
Anyway we are looking for local people to get in contact with and to simply learn about it and share experences and tips with all etc
