A while ago I stumbled across a forum for aspies and their families, http://www.wrongplanet.net/
It helped me understand a few things. It is a very busy forum though, I couldn’t keep up with it. But maybe it would help you two?
The folks on that forum also said that the movie “Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close” gave a good portrayal of what it was like to be an aspie.
There’s a good possibility that I have aspergers. I have all the symptoms but I’ve never been diagnosed. It doesn’t make me dangerous, any more than being dyslexic does. It just means that I process information differently.
Hi Ellandra,
My son is almost at the age where he can start to understand that his brain works differently and adjust his lifestyle accordingly. He already recognizes that he’s different but like I said, he isn’t at the stage in which he can work with his situation to obtain the same outcome at a different angle than a ‘normal’ person.
Have you read ‘Look Me in the Eye’? Its an autobiography of of a guy that had (undiagnosed) Aspergers. Amazing the similarities between him and my son.
