I'm ellienyc & I just joined wrongplanet. I have a 17 year old son with AS, not diagnosed until age 14, now attending the Rebecca School in NYC. I'm worried about his future even tho' he's doing well right now for which I am very grateful.

Welcome

thanks for helping me start.

I had a pretty rough transition to college (for different reasons than people typically do), but I didn't get my diagnosis until halfway through my freshman year. It should definitely help that your son is already diagnosed. And even with the rough start, I'm a semester away from having a 3.0, and I have an internship lined up for the summer.

So keep two things in mind: you already have the best tools for helping him (the diagnosis and awareness), and even if things do turn sour, in no way does it mean success is gone for good.

Hi, I'm in the Uk with a 16 year old daughter diagnosed about eight months ago. Like your son she does well, so she has gone unnoticed for years. However her forthcoming transition to university, adulthood and independant living worried me - which is why we finally pushed for a diagnosis. This, hopefully, will help her to make those transitions with the appropriate support.

Good luck and welcome
