Thank you everyone for the warm replies. They are so very heartfelt:) You guys are too sweet. Mommyjones, I wanted to respond back to you sooner. Not much time on my hands, as I am sure you aware of, being a Mommy yourself. Yes, I do understand now what you meant in regard to challenges. I see that first hand. I didn't get it at first, I sure do now. Update for you guys.

I spoke to my husband about joining this site, I read to him your replies. It is different when you have people responding, who actually have aspergers or know someone with it. So, it seems as though he is coming on board with me now. Also, I would also like to say, " I making progress with my little, amazing fellow of mine. I am finding tools and reading. I am now beginning to understand a little bit better. Example, my little guy would always say, " apple Jacks" the cereal, lol..this is his all time favorite! Anyway, he would always say this. I thought he was obsessed with the cereal. I have come to find out, he is trying to tell me he is hungry. This morning he kept saying apple jacks. I said, " are you hungry?" He said, " hungry!" So, I am on the right path. Crossing fingers. I noticed he is becoming less frustrated. I realize we have a very different way to communicate our needs. I am going to continue reading and taking in as much information as I possibly can. I am just beginning to find that he gets angry because he is just frustrated. Wow, something so small like this, is sooo huge to me! Thank you guys for being here for me, and my little hero in my life. Hugs you guys. I will keep you posted with our progress. I wish so much I were able to send you each a hug. Thank you....please keep the info coming. Every single bit helps.
