Don't know where to start... 7 year old son just diagnosed with Asperger

[Guest guest]

Hi to all,

I've never joined a support group before, not sure if I'm in enough need for

support of if I just need to pull myself together.

My seven year old son has been diagnosed with Higher Functioning Autism/

Asperger.

I knew was different from his peers from a very young age, but was always

toid that he would be fine, that I expected too much, it was a stage he was

going through...

Finally after seeing numerous doctors, fighting with family members, lots of

persuading and defending of my son. I now have a diagnosis, but where do I go

from here.

I want to do what's best for him... I want to be more patient... I want him to

enjoy life and increase his self-esteem.

To most people my son come across as rude and obnoxious but to me he's loving

and big hearted, how do I help him find life less confusing.

Thanks for reading this... my first step in understanding I can't do everything

on my own.
