Hi everyone, I do hope none of you mind my joining as I don't have a child or relative with aspergers but my dear friends son was diagnosed last week. As you can imagine her head isn't as clear as it usually is and she is devastated at the moment. I can understand from reading the forum and learning of the attempts on the site if your wary of me but I run my own forum for fibromyalgia which I live with and admin are welcome to visit to see if they feel me genuine. I want to support my friend but in order to do this I need to learn as much as I can about aspergers and this is the most informative and friendly site I have found. Would anyone advise me as to which posts are the best for me to start with, I mean to read the whole site but due to my fibro memory is not as good as it should be so would be greatfull for pointers as to the posts that are "must reads" for information on how to help my friend and her dear son. He is three years old and adorable. Thank you all so much I look forward to getting to know you all Rachel
