Hello all
My son was recently diagnosed with ASD and I've realized that it runs in the family - 99% sure I and my dad also have/had it. I'm having a rough time with my son (he's 7). I'm here for some advice and just to see how others deal with all this. I'm not in a very good place right now. Though realizing I have it was a bit of a relief... it explained a lot.

Hello and welcome to AutismForums. Hope you enjoy it here and make new friends.
 
Hi welcome. I am in a very similar situation. My son is diagnosed with ASD 3 and I have ASD 1 we both have ADHD or ADD as well. It's very hard, and I can understand in ways how you feel.
