[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 676289, member: 11791"] Be warned: neurotypical males (the so-called "normal" ones) don't really show progress in maturity until something like age 25 or so. With Asperger's, the person develops unevenly, with parts of maturity being a number of years "behind". Which means, some of this is just normal stuff taken to an Aspie-driven extreme. Which Aspie's happen to be very good at. It's really hard to know when to be involved and when to back off, how much freedom to give, how much to hand-hold... it's tough when parenting neurotypical kids. For those of us whose kids are not neurotypical, it's just that much tougher. Sounds like you've already done a good job, and taken this fellow farther than the "experts" expected. You are on the right track. It's just hard to have to rise up to yet another set of challenges when most of our peers would be "done" with raising a kid. [/QUOTE]
