Hi. I am a mom of two great and challenging children. My son is 10 and was diagnosed with Asperger's in the 3rd grade. He was diagnosed in the 4th grade with ADD. Had i known more about ASD back then, i could see him being HFA or PPDnos. My daughter, so far is only speech delayed and receives speech through school. I too suspect i am like my son, although not diagnosed officially. I have horrible social anxiety. I don't mind being around people or going out, it's meeting them or being at some gathering that makes me uncomfortable. I do not have a job right now and really, i am not looking forward to getting one because learning something new and working with new people and with customers freak me out. I haven't told anyone what i think except the social anxiety part of it cause they'd think i am a hypochondriac or something. Or really, looking for attention. 
I am obsessed about learning all i can about ASD for myself and especially for my son.
