Just wanted to say hello to you all. I'm new to the site here, but not to AS. I have 5 children. 3 have special needs. One is diagnosed AS for past 3 years, although we suspected PDD 5 years ago. The AS is actually my "favorite" of the diagnoses that we deal with in our home - I hope that does not sound too strange. Even for all its trials, AS has its funny and whimsical moments and I can play to its strengths...whereas something like Depression or Oppositional Defiant Disorder is never fun, and I just tend to feel self-defeated with it no matter how much parent training we get.
Well that's it for now. Nice to meet you guys. I've been wanting to venture out on-line again. Found this place through an AS consultant and it seems really cool and helpful.
