Hi, everyone! Great site! My son Zane was diagnosed with Asperger's at age 6. He was also diagnosed with Tourette's Syndrome, OCD and not related; Type 1 Juvenile Diabetes (at age 7).
Wondering if there are any other parents out there of teens with AS who might want to share some wisdom as to how to get through these teen years ... and beyond (worried about his future).
I also have a 14 yr. old daughter who seemed to be flying through life and school unscathed and now has developed panic/anxiety disorders. Living with her brother hasn't been easy and I worry his outbursts have caused this or is making this worse. Anyone else have the same dilemma?
Thanks for the site! Can't wait to look around! :roll:

Hi Nikki & welcome to WP.

I'm an Aspie with NT (neurotypical) kids, so I'm afraid that I don't have any experience of bringing up a teen Aspie. However, I'm sure there are plenty of parents on WP who have similar experiences to you.

I hope the site helps you find some answers and support.

Once again welcome :)
