Looking for Mom's Who Have Boys with Asperger's Syndrom

Hi,
I have a 13 year old son with Asperger's.He is lovely and bright, but I need help
from somebody who may have some advice how to get through the difficult times we are having right now.He is also a "new "teenager now,feels like having a newborn again.
I have read tons of books ,a therapist can only help so much.
I would like to get to know Mom's with the same problems.

Hope to hear from you M. from Hanover Park

Dear M.,

I have an 11 year old son who has just been diagnosed with Asperger's and I feel your frustration. Although I am glad I have a diagnosis, it is still hard to figure out what needs to be done. I know of a support group that is held in Bloomingdale the last Wednesday of every month. The woman who runs it has one son who is autistic and another who has aspergers. She is extremely knowlegeable. If you are interested, let me know and I will send you her information.

Good luck! You are not alone! L. from Roselle
