[QUOTE="aeroeng, post: 537258, member: 6557"] Not autism but I struggled with Dyslexia. My parents were hesitant to tell me of the diagnoses, but when I finally was told (3rd grade) it was a gift. I always knew something was wrong, I just did not know what. The term "Dyslexia gave me an explanation, and I no longer needed to believe "dumb and lazy". It took a lot of stress off knowing what is was. Your son is probably smart and he probably knows that something is up. Give him that gift of knowing what. Do it with a very mater of fact type of approach with, and I agree let him take an active part and answer his questions. [/QUOTE]
