I'm new here, though I've already posted a thread asking for advice on the Parenting forum and was surprisingly moved by the responses so far.

I'm from England, a single mum to two sons, an NT 8 year old and a 12 year old with Aspergers/HFA.

I've always been proud of the fact that my sons are happy with this condition being in our lives, my Aspie son insists he's "enabled" and not "disabled". However, of late, he's been very depressed and life is testing us all slightly, so finding this site at this time is fantastic for me. A place where I can get the best advice and experience around from the people that live with these conditions, who better to turn to when you're in need of some guidance and comfort?

I look forward to joining in more thread topics and, hopefully, I can share some of my experiences with some of you and give some help back in return.

Look forward to sharing the highs and lows with you all - its good to be here :P

Hi, I'm in Grimsby at the moment, but hoping to be moving to the Midlands sometime in the next few months.

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome :D
