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.
Hi all. My son Josh has Asperger's, he is 11 now and was diagnosed - finally! - aged 7. He lives with his mum, and has moved around a bit so his support has been patchy.
He's now back in Lancashire and will ultimately get the support he needs!
He has his moments - obsession, routine, the usual ASD traits - but he is a lad at heart; Liverpool, PS2, any sport you can shake a stick at, but he also has a much gentler side, he has feelings too! :-)
Josh' older sister doesn't have an ASD, and she needs to learn how to cope with her younger sibling, just as much as the rest of us!
Looking forward to receiving - and occasionally giving! - advice here.
David
