simsbabe Report post Posted September 28, 2009 Hi! My names Mel and I live in rainy Manchester with the OH and 4 kids! My 9 year old son has just been diagnosed with Aspergers/ High Functioning Autism, which has, in a way, come as some sort of relief after over a year of tests, questions and observation. I have a 12 (goin on 30) year old daughter who has just started high school and 2 year old twin boy/girl. After getting my sons diagnosis we are pretty certain our 2 year old twin boy also has a ASD, which they wont test for until he starts school next year (if he does, its not looking too good at the moment!) Anyway, enough about me, its nice to be somewhere where people feel the same as I do and understand how I feel, sometimes I feel the family think I overeact etc. Great to be here! xxx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
