Introduction

Feel this is the only place I can be anonymous and talk about the trials/tribulations/ hopefully possibly positive thoughts on having a kid with Aspergers. Can't use Facebook, don't want family to know what is on my mind all the time. If I am angry with work, don't want it to get back to them. So on and so forth.

Don't want anyone to feel sorry for me either. I just have to get the thoughts from bouncing around my head.

My son is pre-teen, and has been diagnosed with Aspergers, or some sort of PDD around the age of 5, when he wasn't talking. Finally got him speech therapy, that helped alot. But he has social awkwardness, which makes him feel like an outcast. I guess we have that in common.

He is my middle child. He also suffers from depression, like myself. So it is a bad combination. He is a bright kid, but mind wanders on other things so his school work suffers. Anyways, if something bothers me, expect a post...but hey, I may be the only one reading this.
