Hey. I'm new here but I wanted to post a little note about the conversation I had today with my son. I've always felt very close to my son (he's 26). Today he stopped by (he lives on one of the nearby islands so I see him periodically. He stayed 3 hours and we mostly talked about aspergers. I've been reading a little on the symptoms and contemplating alot on recognizing my own symptoms. It's a bit of a brain twister to do this for the first time in your life after being completely unaware for your whole life. I feel that educating yourself (at least this is true for me) on aspergers and what it means to be on the autistic spectrum (love that spectrum) will, although difficult at first will serve you (and others) in the long run. I'm already noticing wonderful truths in myself and it's only been a few days. There's so much to learn!!much
