Have you ever wondered how moms feel about the answers you give, beyond just getting a flower.
I wanted to thank you all for the answers you gave to the question about talking to your child about their Aspergers diagnosis.
My son is 6, and has not asked yet, but I know he will eventually. He's pretty quick and smart and will figure out that he is a bit different from the other kids. I had already decided to talk to him about it when he asks, possibly before if it seems like the right time/circumstance. Reading your answers has reaffirmed my thoughts/feelings about it and given me more confidence re. embracing his strengths.
Thanks a lot, mamas!
Good luck to you and your son.
Its nice to say "hey thanks" nowadays, especially when we may be having bad days ourselves.

Thats seems a big part of the benefits of having solid wise input, to put our feelings into words and words into action that is not too broad or sloppy because it has that framework you speak about. It doesnt cover too much or leave out crucial parts. Life will still surprise us but we can deal if we have that wise framework.
May you have the words that are like "apples of gold in pitchers of silver" at the time you need them!
Andy has never asked. Just every now and then we talk about school or whatever and I saw well that is because of your PDD. Oh, yeah, and then he forgets again.
He just doesn't care, he is happy.
I guess I am saying just live.
No need to go I to big long discussion. Everyone learns in a different way. The world would be a very boring place if we were all the same. Short and sweet. You do. OT want to put so much emphasis on the word because you certainly don't want him using that dx as an excuse not to be able to do something.
