Hi! Haven't been around in a quite some time. We went on vacation - Disneyworld/Disney cruise - it went surprisingly well - had a couple of bad days - but overall, DS did great in such an overstimulating place.

Just got DS official diagnosis: Aspergers, anxiety disorders and mild ADD. No surprises here. I already got my request (in writing) sent to DS's principal for a MFE. I also found a parent's support group right in my backyard. I met with two of the mom's for coffee yesterday - I feel very blessed to have found them.

I'm starting to compile a reading list - any suggestions? I am really new to AS - don't know much about it or what type of help/resources are available for DS.

I hope to be around more often again - of course the holidays will be upon us soon.
