Hi, new and looking for help.

[Mary Seibel]

I'm a mom of young adult son with Aspergers. We need to find ways to help him. I look forward to reading others experience, and finding ideas for how we can help our son to be motivated in a positive direction in his life. Thank you for being here.

Welcome. Check out the forums. A lot will depend on what his challenges are.

Thank you. I'm having a bit of a time navigating this site. If I don't figure it out I'll go to the "Help" area.

Welcome!

Up at the top,
single click on "Forums", then

single click on "Search Forums", then

scroll down to "Keywords"

type in an issue you might be dealing with (like "anxiety" or "vocalizations" or whatever)

Note: Near the bottom, "Child forums" doesn't mean children; it means forums that are subordinate to other forums.

click "Search"
