Hello. This is my first time here. I wonder if someone has some experience that might be able to help me. I am increasingly concerned about our son and feel that he may have an AS disorder, I suppose I am talking about Asperger's. I don't really know whom to turn to for help. Should I go to the GP? Should I take my son? Perhaps the answers are obvious to you but I'd be grateful for any help, as I am not sure where to start.
He has always been very good at reading, maths, etc., but his handwriting is still barely legible and his fine motor skills are not that good. He will never answer a question about an emotional matter. He can't get the hang of not interrupting - he simply doesn't seem to register that anyone else is talking. He likes to give a long monologue on his favourite subjects and doesn't really care whether anyone is listening or not. And he flaps his hands a lot when he is excited. He doesn't have any close friends.
I am thinking that we need some help, particularly as I am becoming really impatient with him recently. I find him very hard to deal with sometimes. I could do with some help and support.
Thanks for listening.
