Bikemad, I am wondering if you son is intolerant to wheat or milk products. I had ongoing earache as a child. But as an adult I realised that by elimating these foods from my diet - the earache went away. Just a thought and maybe worth elimating these foods to see if it helps the problem.

Lollies are a wonderful motivating force. I remember feeling happy when my children went to the shop to buy their own sweets.

I think if you are coping in life - and have made adjustment for the differences of aspergers - diagnosis isn't needed. For my son - it was needed - I just wish I knew sooner why he struggled so much. Life could have been easier had we known we could have understood. Once the diagnosis was made - he went from being suicidal to beginning to turn his life around. I believe the diagnosis very likely saved his life.

Sorry I didn't get to know you Ian - you sound interesting - I would like to ask a question - but you are going - so I will leave it.

Hi - I'm ellen_may - I hope there are friendly people on this forum.

Thanks - I did need a hug - sending some straight back to you. <'> <'> <'>

I would like to read this book!!

My son has a diagnosis - he got the diagnosis after breaking down in his late teens. The breakdown occured as a result of his struggle with aspergers. My daughter is extremely shy- not social - not well co-ordinated. Her shyness limits her life options. I am like my son and daughter - I had a course today - it was hard coping with the social aspect of it. I took a whole clonazapam to help alleviate my anxiety - of course they have to do round the room introductions and we are expected to talk - nightmare. I need to learn to keep my mouth shut to stop the rubbish coming out. I can't express my thoughts in certain situations. I think aspergers is a family trait.
