Hi my son has Aspergers.

[Cayn50]

My son has Aspergers and I have no idea how to help him. It was just diagnosed this summer and we are lost on what to do. He is 11 years old. Originally diagnosed with adhd for many years. But things weren't adding up Now we are trying to learn everything possible so that we can help him. And we are stumbling.

Welcome to the forums.

My son has Aspergers and I have no idea how to help him. It was just diagnosed this summer and we are lost on what to do.

To begin with, I would highly recommend that you take a deep breathe and do as much as possible to relax. Your son is fine and there is nothing wrong with him.

To put it in simpler form, the Autism spectrum is a set of behavior that differs from the typical behavior found in majority. These behavior often are recognizable by different methods of perceiving/analyzing/processing information gathered throughout daily life activities.

As suggested By Rocco, many useful links are available for you where to find information. If you still would like more info, you can always ask to most of the people around here, as this friendly community is very opened to help others by giving suggestions & tips on how one does help self, or in your case your son.

Once again. Welcome, and we all hope that you will find what you are looking for.

5HTP and GABA help me a lot. I also find that pot before bed really helps. I just have to be careful what strain I smoke. Indicas can send my head spinning. Sativas are usually good though.

But seriously, if I knew I was never going to have the opportunity to smoke pot again, I'd blow my brains out. It's like I spent my whole life tripping on acid before finally finding pot.

Did you even read the OP? The OP is asking for information with regard to an 11 year old schoolboy.

OP: a good resourse for asperger and Autism information is The National Autistic Society (NAS)...
