Hi all,

I've had my say on a few topics now so it's probably time I introduced myself.
I 'm the mother of a 19 year old son diagnosed with mild AS when he was 16. We always knew he was unusual but appreciated his gifts and accommodated his quirks, so he seems to have grown up happy with himself.

I'm really enjoying the forums on WP and learning a great deal - thanks guys.

Welcome to the forum! It's wonderful that your son feels appreciated for who he is. The more parents like you, the better.

It is nice to read that you have accepted your son's condition (I call it 'individuality') because it took my father years! Hello anyway.
