Hello everyone...
I have been lurking here forever so I decided I would say hi!
My DS Gavin is 7 and was diagnosed with Aspergers in August of 2005. He is pretty high functioning, so sometimes I have moments where I start think he's fine, but reality sets in soon after LOL.
He goes to a special school because he was just not able to handle all of the kids and noise etc. in his public school....everyday was a disastrous melt down there so this is such a relief.
I also have a very active almost 2 yr old DS Aidan who keeps me hopping!
We have good days and bad days....I can so relate to everyone's stories here....I look forward to getting to know everyone!!

Welcome! We're glad you decided to say, "Hi"~ your son sounds like my oldest. There are days when I think my oldest (aspie) is completely normal. Reality bites, doesn't it? LOL

Hi Julienne,

Welcome to the board! Glad you came out of lurkdom! I lurked for a bit myself, right before Nathan was dx'd. I've been here since 2004. Although, I have been gone for a few months recently. I'm going thru a divorce now, but really felt I needed to come back.....most cause the support here is so great!

I have 2 boys myself, Tyler 10 NT and Nathan 7 1/2 HFA. Hope to hear more about you and your family.
