Hi Kissindra

Welcome to WP. You should check out the parents forum for threads on parenting with AS kids.

As the parents forum often only gives the parents perspective, it is worth browsing the whole site if you want insights into how Aspies see the world, especially as your son gets older and into teenage years.

I hope you find the information to help you bring up your son as you look around WP.

Your son might like the Kids' Crater, meeting others is the best, the youngest is seven, they have a fun club, and support each other well. Lots of Mums are watching, they have cool toys.
