Don,t know if this is the correct way to introduce your self but here we go,

Firtsly I must admit to never been diagnosed with aspergers, my son has and up until recent I did not know i could be passed on from farther to son for example. In all honesty just thought that I was a bit strange, but after my son was diagnosed I bought some books, went on the net and so on, it was like some one had justed turned the light on and I could see,[/font]to realise the things other people suffered I went through as well, not that this has made any difference I suppoe but it is a start. I am coming up 50 in June so as they say you can not teach an old dog new trick.

I feel guilty about passing this onto my son, but realise that there was nothing I could do about it, but still hurts, knowing what he has to go through, I have a brother who helped my explain things I suppose you could say as I was growing up, but he has not, and his mother and I split up, which again I feel did not help him any.

Anyway I could go on for an age but I will leave it there for now and see if anybody gets back to me.

Cheers, David.

Welcome David,
You have found a great site to help get answers and understand yourself and son better. Carey is wonderful about explaining and pointing folks in the right direction. I have not been diagnosed and neither has my son but so many things relate to my sons personality and mine. My son was just different and sees things in a different way. But he is special and smart and has alot to offer this world. Parents splitting up is always hard on children. It does help them learn to cope better when the parents can get along. That is not always easy,graduations marriages and holidays. It goes on for a life time. It is like you never get to be seperated from them once you have children together.
I wish you much understanding
Lynn
