Hi, I am new to the forum. I have a son that has Asperger's, ADHD, and ODD. I am looking to know that I am not alone on this lonely journey and "advice" from others on things that have helped them and not helped them. Also to share some "goofy" stories and struggles while dealing with these. I also live in North Carolina, USA

You are not alone! Hi I'm lyn my son is 15 and has had a full diagnosis sine the age of 9, he is a beautiful child but very vunerable and quiet. There must be lots of people near you in the same boat. I help run a support group in our area for families, its the only way to do it because there is no provision for support for adults here in the UK. Helps to talk about it too even if no one can solve your problems because our children are so different from each other even though they share the same spectrum condition. Be Aspie and proud!
