Close Asperger Syndrome
My son was just officially diagnosed with AS, however I have known it for about 2 years. He has the verbal equivalency of a 23 year old (confirmed thru testing) but the impulse control of a 5 year old. I am just getting started doing research re: how to best help him and could use all of the advice I can get. The only thing that makes it a bit easier is that I think I know where he inherited it from. It took about 10 minutes of reading the signs to figure out why I was such a problem child:)
