We just found out our nine-year-old son has AS, to be honest I am relieved. Currently it's just us helping him but we have therapists and homecare starting soon to help him with social issues. When you ask him about friends he says he has lots but he can't name them. He has a little brother who he plays with all the time and I know will be is for ever friend. I have other children who are older and they love their brother.
Am I naïve to think that family support will help him? Does it help to have other friends with AS?
For now I won't get frustrated when he stems in a restaurant and makes loud noises, when he has to trace all the lines before we can go somewhere. I'll have more patience in helping him transition. I really believe this is going to make me a better mother.
