[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 590618, member: 11791"] Your child, today, is the same person he was yesterday. The diagnosis doesn't change the child. Asperger's doesn't get worse. With the right help, many of the challenges can be managed or work-arounds adapted. Many Asperger's kids with "normal" intellegence grow up to lead rich, full lives. They will always be "wired differently", but somehow, it's more of a problem before you grow up, than it is afterwards. An adult is allowed to have a major obsession... it's called a career. It can even be in a subject area that is obtuse and unusual - in areas most people don't even know exist - and it's still acceptable. So, go hug him - again. Remember, he's still the same, but the difference between yesterday and today is that the diagnosis becomes a bridge - to interventions, accommodations, therapies, understanding, learning... yesterday, you had no way to cross the chasm, today you are beginning the process of building bridges.
