[QUOTE="nvts, post: 433145, member: 3814"] Hi! My advice? In my opinion, Aspergers is a spectrum within a spectrum. Think of Aspergers as an ice cream sundae...everyone starts with ice cream - but some have vanilla, some chocolate, some strawberry or some other flavor. Then toppings - hot fudge, butterscotch, caramel, cherries, whipped cream - some or none when it comes right down to it. But almost every sundae has it's sprinkle of nuts. Either the child is nuts or the parents go nuts - sometimes both. :bigsmile: My point is - you're already doing a fantastic job - you're seeking out diagnostics, studying him to see where his confusion lies, what impacts his behavior, etc. You're miles ahead of where most of us were at his age with our children. Mourn what you need to mourn - cry over what you need to cry over - and then embrace the coolness of who he is! But remember to give yourself the daily pat on the back that you so richly deserve! Hugs honey...it's going to be ok...we're here for you! Beth [/QUOTE]
