Hi. My name is Elaine and I have an 11-year-old son named Ryan who was recently diagnosed with Asperger's. My head is still spinning a little bit, trying to understand, and wondering why we didn't pick up on things sooner. He was being treated for anxiety since he was 7 with two different therapists. We finally took him to a children's hospital and he was diagnosed there.

My husband and I have been married 21 rocky years. The rockiest have been since Ryan was born, as he has been very high maintenance since the day he was born. The funny thing is, I have thought so many times that my husband and son are so much alike, two peas in a pod... So I am beginning to realize that I may actually be living with two Aspies. I had no idea. 8O
It sure explains a lot of things that have been going on around here, though. :D
