Hi, I am new here. I have seven kids, three with autism spectrum disorders. I have been diagnosed with Asperger's as well. We are living the aspie life, although my husband does not have Asperger's. I am glad I found this site!

Welcome pinkfan. Fan of Pink Floyd? I'm glad you found this site also, although with 7 kids I'm not sure you'll have time to do any visiting.

thanks for the welcome! Yes, I am busy, but since I am a stay at home mom it is easier. Dedhead66: I don't like Pink Floyd. I like Pink (see icon). Dyp: I may have some tips, but right now all of my kids, my husband, and Ihave the flu so I will save that for another day. I appreciate all of the hellos and hope to get to know others better!
