Apoligises my post was not meant to be for you. I am new here and might not be replying correctly. I was replying to A and A or thought i had. Yes there should be sensitivity on both sides im not disagreeing at all.

Hi Bid, I understand what your saying and i would never be insensitive towards anyone with Autism or any other disability not that you were suggesting i was, lol However a person with Aspergers shouldnt be classed as more fortunate than a person with severe autism or visa versa. My son wasnt home diagnosed, the past 4 years has been a living nightmare . I wouldnt wish it on anyone to be inside my sons head and what he is struggling desperately to deal with everyday and peoples ignorrance dont help matters.

My son is also a Aspie as you put it, You sound if your upset as if Aspergers has stolen your limelight? You have no idea how it is to walk in his shoes. Life is unbearable, stressful, to the point on the 24th june this year he took a overdose, luckily i came in from my work just as he was slipping unconscious, but because he also has eplilepsy i thought he was taking a seizure, he ended up in a coma for 3 days. My son has been bullied, torments himself everyday trying to fit in. He came in that day from school and thought 'Whats the point' Am thick, no one likes me etc etc. Its a comment like you made that could send my son over the edge. So please try and understand Aspergers is a disability not a label that some bright spark thought up. Ty J

Hi, I agree reply from A and A was rather rude and quite cruel actually. Im a mother of a 14 yr old boy with Apergers and it's torture for him so much on the 24th june he took a overdose and spent 3 days in a coma. Reason he gave was ' whats the point everyone thinks am a as~hole, am thick, etc etc. He torments himself everyday trying to understand why his head is full of bad thoughts of feeling he doesnt fit in. So as the others said have a little thought. Anyway it soon will all be all back to under Autism and no longer Aspergers i think 2013. Ty J
