When to Talk to Young Child About Aspergers?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

Our son, age 7, was diagnosed last fall. We haven't told him yet, and I was

wondering how people have decided when it's time to talk to their child about

Aspergers, and how they approached it? I think it's important that he know he

has a difference that explains why he has some rules and difficulties other kids

don't have, but I don't want to make him feel defective in any way.

Feel free to email me directly; I know this is a very individual decision.

Thanks,
