| Great Thanks Tracker. I fully understand how much you put into these emails and quite honestly I would never be able to do it. Also, you are brilliant! with words - what are you talking about. I cant tell you how much I appreciate what you are doing for me and my son. The best help I have ever had. ... |

Well now we have gone full circle!
I think this topic has reached its natural end.
Many thanks to all for the input, advice and understanding really really appreciated.
However would still love to hear back from Tracker though.
Thanks

| Thank you FD. I have been in contact with Aspire but the groups seem very small and most parents have very young kids but I do intend to try again. The main problem in Ireland is that everything is talk and no action. The services on the ground are non existent. Most families are on their own and if... |

| Thank you Aurea, stangely it is consoling to hear that there are other boys out there just like my son and yes he is 17 and that is hard enough for him and me but he is also like you said just like a 14yr old and at times a 5yr old. In fact when someone asks me his age I really have to think. His si... |

| Yes he has been on medication for about a year and half when he was 15 to 16 he will be 18 in September. Prozac and Risperidone and neither made any positive difference whatsoever except for bad side effects which were horrible for him so I slowly weaned him off them. |

| Can you tell me, did any of you, who have Asperger's ever when you were in your teens become isolated in your home for any long period of time. If you did, did it come to an end and how, or are you still a recluse? |
