| Tracker, I think you are the cat's meow. I loved your first book and am truly looking forward to finding usable insight in the second. I have NO problem accepting "differentness" (in fact everyone I have told about this website, thinks it is about them. Even THE MOST NT person out there has often fe... |

| recently found out thru the grapevine that my still undagnosed, now 19year old's elementary school teacher suspected aspergers. Wonder how life might have been different if she had told us. The child and I both thought the world of her and her perceptiveness. |

| Thanks, momsparky- but you posted the same thread twice. I did not find where you actually told your son and what the outcome was. I have an adult friend whose Aspie traits are far more evident than those of my 19yr old daughter. He has been being treated only for anxiety since he was a kid with the... |
