You described my emotions to a tee, especially the & *^$!@ Angry part. But hang in there, read everything you can, hug your son as much as he'll allow and hold tight to the bright spots each day. Some day there will be more than others, but so long as there are more bright spots than dark ones, everything's going to work out. This listserv is a great comfort to me, I hope it's helpful for you too.

Hi Guys,No real questions at this stage as it is all to new and very overwhelming. Our son has been " diagnosed " a week ago with Autism after an hour session with a specialist. We at this stage have no idea

of severity (Aspergers/HFA or not sure what is on the other side of the spectrum). Will be in touch to ask for advice, especialy from fathers?
