It was brought to our attention my 7 year old may have Aspergers. We always thought he was shy and did not have great social skills. But a counselor witnessed one of Logan's "fits" just before Thanksgiving and suggested we have him tested. Just like anything else in life I am a bit shocked but it also makes perfect sense.

I joined this forum to learn as much as I can so I can be supportive and help my son.

Sincerely,

Russell

Good Luck. For your son: Has he had a history of other problems, such as motor skills/non-verbal? Just asking.

Diagnosis is the first step towards getting help, I hope he achieves self-actualization to his full potential.
