no-escape Report post Posted June 25, 2009 Hi I joined a few months ago but what with everything I completely forgot about the site but found you again today My son is 8 and was diagnosed with Aspergers and ADHD last November. It took 5 years to get the diagnosis. The support from his school has been amazing but thats about as far as it goes. I really dont know much and have been online 24/7 just lately to find out and read everthing I can about this condition so I can help my son.. He has no clue that he has AS. He just thinks he is special and acts a little different to others in his class. I did try to sit him down once and explain to him what is going on but he got so upset and didnt understand anything I was saying so to save a lot of heartache and tears I left it at that and havent had the courage to put him through that again. I know I will have to tell him sooner or later.... Thanks for reading Linzi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
