Reply #3: my son has aspergers

[RainDog]

but, honestly, he wouldn't be himself without all of who he is so it's not a big deal.

the only problem is when people don't know him - don't understand some of the ways he relates to people.

when he's talked to me about it, I've always reminded him that we all have something we have to deal with and his has a name.

he's involved in the "aspie" community online. that's a great thing about the web - people being able to share their mutual experiences and offer support for things that aren't a common part of everyone else's life.
