[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 369713, member: 1991"] Whether it's autism or Asperger's, don't feel too discouraged by the label. And yes, it fits. I'm surprised by a professional who says, "It's not Asperger's," but doesn't tell you what it IS. We did find especially in the early stages, that the diagnosis was difficult to pin down. With difficult child 1, it took ten years for the Asperger's diagnosis to be made and even then, it was challenged. We have also found some wonderful positive attributes to our kids' autism. A lot of myths need to be dispelled - these are not cold, unemotional kids. Behind that often deadpan face, there are some very turbulent emotions running very deep. They are intensely loyal, can be very loving and generous and learn eventually that trying to tell lies is not good idea; they are bad at it. They can be very gifted but in some narrow areas of achievement. You can use this, however, to open up other areas of life for them. Marg [/QUOTE]
