been searching around on the Autism/ Aspergers topic and there seems to be a lot of parents looking for help for their children. Props to you guys who are looking for help!! Was wondering if I could start a thread with people who are diagnosed the struggles and indeed joys of neurodiversity

Of course you can @Abi_E - it's great to read about people's perspectives, & I indeed really like to read more about the positives with neurodiversity. My son was described as 'next door to Aspergers' about 15 years ago. I appreciate how he sees things differently, & would also welcome your view point. Please start a new thread.

I was diagnosed with Asperger’s and would be interested in joining in a discussion to share experiences with people with similar conditions
It seems autism is quite a diverse condition, I see a lot of people with autism are unable to do very much at all, which is sad, I guess I am lucky in a way. I find I am unable to cope in a social situation or alone out and about however I am relatively confident on the internet (which is why I spend so much time in this forum). I am interested to know if anyone else is the same...? -
Hi @sarah97! It might be worth making a separate post about this so that there's more chance someone else will see it

It depends on whether you mean a biological parent or someone who, through meeting someone, became a parent overnight. Soto speak. I met my late partner when her two boys were 5 and 7 and we set up home together when they were 7 and 9. I treated ad still do, them as my own and now their children call me Grandad.
