Hi Ya'll!

I'm new here- found this while looking for a "Due in April" site (Just found out I'm pregnant again!) My son is seven and has Asperger's. His main issues are sensory integration, compulsive behavior, and pragmatic language disorder. He also stutters.

Tell you what- there were weeks when I wanted to escape, but things have really calmed down around here, and Cooper is maturing and improving at his own pace. I'd like to offer hope to anyone who is out there at their wit's end right now. Anything I can share or contribute that would help, I would be glad to.

Welcome,
I don't visit the board often, due to a hectic life, but when I do I find it to be full of the most giving, helpful people. You will love it here. :)

I for one, still have days I'd LOVE to hide in the closet, so I am encouraged to hear things get better. My ds is only 5.5 and we are facing the dreaded kindergarten transition.
