Good afternoon. I have just started having contact with my son after 26 years (long story). He was diagnosed with Aspergers ten yrs or so ago, I have been told. It is incredibly hard communicating with him, he does not message me unless i send him one first. He will not ask questions when i see him. He will suddenly drift pff and stare into space.. I am at a loss as to how to deal/cope with this. Please dont judge me - I have not had any (known) contact with anyone like this before and I am really struggling to know how to draw him out of himself, if that is even possible..
Maybe give Tony Attwood's book 'The Complete Guide to Asperger's Syndrome' a read, which costs just under £20 new ~ or if that is not affordable or you'd like to peruse it before buying it; it is freely available by way of the following Portable Document Format (PDF) link:
