Hi! New here - have a 14 year old son and 25 year old daughter on the spectrum

[gailbufmom]

My name is Gail, our family is from NE Ohio. I have 2 children on the spectrum, and an NT 13 year old son.

Alexander is going into 8th grade, fairly HFA, - moving to mainstream classes in science, reading, math after getting an A- in regular math last year.

Diane is 25 years old, fairly HFA, very verbal, and has many interests.

Edwin is 13, adopted from Guatemala, and very bright, social and great at many sports. It's tough for him sometimes having special needs siblings.

Alexander and Diane are Special Olympics roller skaters. Here are a couple of links to recent performances:

I look forward to participating here!!!!

Hi, My son is turning 21 in Nov.  He is a high functioning Aspie.  He is at CU Boulder going for Pharmacy . Really wants a girlfriend.  People don't guess he is on the spectrum.. What is your daughter like?

I suspect that I may have aspergers. I am 26. Can you tell me more about her? Im just really curious. People tell me Im crazy for assuming this about myself, but my whole life I knew I was "off" or "different". Ive had many diagnosises such as bi polar, depression ect ect and none of them made sense to me, except aspergers.Im very curious to how I would relate to someone my age.
