Hi there,

my son, now 11 was diagnosed a few months ago. I've known since his birth that he was different. His dad, is also an Aspie but undiagnosed. We are not together anymore.

My goal here is to find out the best ways to support my son so that he grows up believing that he can have the life he wants.

Thanks so much for everyone's information.
