| One of the first things I noticed after my | | | | problems, stories about social interactions, |
| daughter was diagnosed with Aspergers was how | | | | obsessions, medications, diagnosis, school and |
| alone and different I felt. Even though I knew | | | | teacher difficulties, family interactions, explaining |
| others had Aspergers I had never actually heard | | | | Aspergers to others, favorite activities, |
| anyone speak of it or knew of anyone who had | | | | technology equipment and aides, websites, motor |
| Aspergers. Trying to go through daily experiences | | | | skills difficulties, peer conflicts, books & |
| where I felt I was the only one in the whole | | | | videos, doctors, eating and sleeping habits, new |
| world having these problems with my daughter | | | | research and information, depression, multiple |
| was a nightmare! During my research to learn | | | | diagnosis, and more. |
| more about Aspergers Syndrome I came across | | | | Most importantly we share our own personal |
| a Yahoo Group which focuses on asking questions | | | | feelings as parents with the struggles and pains |
| and relaying experiences to help eachother. When | | | | we have experienced as we try to move |
| I joined I had a million questions. I now am able to | | | | forward day to day. It is always easier to face |
| read daily posts and respond to questions others | | | | something new, different and maybe even |
| ask as well as post questions and new information | | | | freightening when you have others walking hand in |
| I find to this site. What was the best part was to | | | | hand with you. I have found that whenever I post |
| find that others are going through exactly the | | | | a question there is always someone to reply even |
| same things I am. | | | | if just to say they understand and have been |
| We have discussed things from social skills | | | | there. It is nice to not be alone! |
