Hi, I'm a mom to a 5 year-old Aspie who is a joy and a challenge, often at the very same time. His dad is probably also AS or at least falls somewhere on the spectrum. I consider myself quirky but not think I really fit the description of AS. But whatever, labels are just a tool.
Mostly I'm looking for other parents in similar situations or who have been there (here!) before, but after poking around the forums a while I gained a lot of insight on other issues AS kids/adults deal with, so I'm sure I'll also get a sort of "sneak peek" of what's to come as my son grows up. Maybe I can add a few good tools to my toolbox to help him along the way.
So there's my intro. Hi!
