Things I learned today
- If you drink a ton of water in an effort to stay calm and in control, you will need to pee - probably more than once.
- The predictive text option on my phone does not recognize the word 'Aspergers'.
- Strawberry ice cream is the ultimate medicine.
- You give amazing advice and support and good wishes and at a time when otherwise we might feel somewhat alone, I know that we are in extremely good company. Thank you.

Does it make sense?
Mark is your precious boy and your love will see him - and you -through.
It's a linguistic term, Ali, useful for understanding and supporting, that's all. It's not a box.
You're doing such a great job. There'll be so much to work through in the coming months, but you really are doing such a great job. And no doubt you'll be reminded a zillion times that some of the world's best, most creative, minds were, and are, Aspergers. I bet he's one smart kid. And cute with it.
make that everyday... :)
labels are scary - but it will help you, and more importantly, him, be able to understand himself better.
thinking of you. I have sent you an email to your hot mail address. My son has just been diagnosed with Aspergers so if you would like to chat I'll be happy to
take care

Read, read, read is what I can suggest for now. That phrase "Knowledge is Power" is so apt for us who have to be advocates for our kids when they aren't the round peg in the round hole....
Many kisses and hugs to you guys. You are going to be just fine.

As others have said you are both the same as you were before the meeting and if having a diagnosis helps the professionls support you then good.
Sending hugs

My nephew has Aspergers, my neighbour's son has Aspergers and they are very bright and funny boys who just process things a bit differently. I know you will work out how to manage this and that Mark's life will be wonderful.
In the meantime you know you have loads of support coming to you from the blogging world and beyond. Big hugs from us..
