I'm Peg, a 48 year old mom of 2. My daughter is 26 and is NT and my son is 17 and is dx with Asperger or High Functioning Autism (depending on what dx your talking about) and ADHD. He is enrolled in a Charter School that allows me to mix classroom and home school. He is starting his junior year. He is also very involved with Boy Scouts and is working to get his Eagle Scout this year. He's a terrific kid with a very good sense of humor.

  • hi my name is vickie & i have 12 & 17 yr old boys-yeah me!   i'm a single mom & my oldest has aspergers.  he has been in & out of therapies since he was around 4-5yrs old.  this diagnosis has been something i have been in denial about for years. in less than a year he will turn 18 which is a WHOLE new set of issues!  i used to always tell myself (try to talk myself into believing actually) that he would "grow out of it" and be "normal"  someday.  i couldn't love him any more though & would never wish he were any different today-he is just perfect the way he is.  a friend told me about cafe mom & the groups available so i would love to get to know others, compare notes, chat & mabe even every now & then vent.  (try not to do the last one too often though).  have alot to share & would love to listen also.  please feel free to add me as a friend if you would like.
