I came across this blog post today, and I really hope you decided to continue.
Writing about your experiences having a son with Aspergers, is a great way to raise awareness for the diagnosis and what it can entail.

I have a disability called spina bifida. I created a website to raise awareness for spina bifida, as well as talk about it in my own blog.

I loved reading this blog post and am going to look for more now.

My son has Asperger’s as well, and I am loving reading this. It is nice to hear what other’s are going through with it as well. Thanks. Love this!

My daughters boyfriend has a brother with Asperger’s I have met him a few times he seems very withdrawn and plays on the computer a lot. So this is something that I would love to learn more about..

Yes, please continue. You have a lot to teach. I enjoy learning about money from you, and now I’m learning something new!

Yes, please going! I don’t have kids but I am fascinated by autism. I think we have been surrounded by geniuses through the ages and it’s only now that we are called these wondrous people “autistic”.

Yes, your style of story and explanation is very interesting and informative at the same time emotional.

Yes, please continue Gail….this is a fasinating blog to read and I believe it really helps those of us who come into contact with people with autism for only short periods of time or not on a regular basis. I’m finding it very helpful to understand how one of my casual co-workers thinks about things and why he says and does what he does.

Thank you Gail!

Yes please. I am very interested to hear your story. My two year old grandson is undergoing tests to determine whether he is autistic or not and your first hand observations on the subject are welcomed. Best wishes to your family – Malcolm is in good hands!

Yes, I’d love to hear more as my son, who’s 12, appears to be “on the Asperger fence” without a diagnosis. I see a lot of similarities between what you write about Malcolm’s experiences and what I see in my son – delayed language in particular, and my son also struggled with pronouns and grammar in general. “in front, behind, beside, on top” – he couldn’t get these concepts either and for a long time boys, girls, ladies, men were all “its” because he couldn’t understand how to use he/she/his/hers/them/theirs. So hard for some children to learn these nuances of language. It’s nice to read that we aren’t alone.
