Hello everyone..

[grasshopper68]

Mom of a 25 yr old high functioner here; we are entering the phase of life now where he is mentally about 18 and acts like it. I would appreciate any assistance at all on how to "enjoy" this phase of our lives. :/

Welcome

I haven't any experience with having kids myself, but I would recommend trying our parenting section, if you haven't yet: Parenting & Autism Discussions | AspiesCentral.com

I also recommend having a browse through our recommended readings section:
Resources | AspiesCentral.com

Also, if you have yet to discover Dr. Tony Attwood, it would be ideal to look in to his books, and advice: Home

Hi grasshopper68, welcome to our very caring and supportive assortment of people, all of us at various stages of struggling and/or giggling (yes we insist on having fun too)

Welcome to the world of the Aspie

It pains me to see yet another individual that got caught up in the labeling system.

There are a wide variety of spectrum people here and none of us fall into any specific category...we share traits that are common to us,but not cut and dried all the way.

I think you will find AC both friendly and helpful

Hi and welcome to aspiescentral! =) I'm not a mom - quite the opposite, i'm 23, single, and childless and plan to stay that way for a while. But my parents think i'm an aspie hence why i'm on here. I'm finishing up college still. I'm kind of confused though...what are you asking about exactly? I don't get it.
