This is a god-send. My son is undergoing tests right now and asperger's is at the top of our list. I have so many questions and would love to have a group of women who are going through the same thing to help me through this time! Wow! Thank you!!

Autism and Parenting Examiner blog - is autism a "prison" or a "playground?" Should "typicalness" be the goal? http://is.gd/ojNV

Karrie, Thank you SO much for creating this group. I am so touched by the support I see happening here. I am actually not a mom of a child with Asperger's, but I support a lot of moms of kids with Asperger's and autism as a parent coach and as a special educator, and this is such a blessing to me as a resource where I can bring moms and link them up to others who are walking the same road. I can already think of 3 moms I plan to e-mail tonight to tell them about this group! I also want to send you an e-hug after having read your post of November 12th about the report you were given by your child's school. I hope they offered you a lot of support along with that report!!

Hello all! Totally new here! My daughter and husband are Aspies. As an NT, I'm odd man out! ;)

I asked families to send Valentines to loved ones with autism. They did! Here are nearly fifty wonderful appreciations to enjoy, share, or add to: http://autism.about.com/b/2009/02/14/valentines-galore-for-loved-ones-with-autism.htm.

Hi! I'm mom to two - a daughter and son. My son is an Aspie...thus my "name" of Mom on Mars. Feel like I can't quite get a handle on how his brain works, and I feel like I'm navigating around unchartered territory most of the time. Sounds like I am not alone!

Hi! I have a 14 year old son. When he first went to school, he was diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome. Now he is in Eighth Grade and is being homeschooled. He was recently also diagnosed with Bi Polar Disorder. The AS and Bi Polar often clash and he faces many problems due to conflicting emotions, feelings and attitudes.

Hi girls! I am mom to two boys aged 5 and 10. My 10 year old has Aspergers. I've done a lot of volunteer work in my community relating to autism and used to teach school. I now host a local support group for moms of Aspies. I look forward to hearing about and learning from your experiences.

I'm thinking about starting a Valentine's Day Project - a sort of collection of love notes to beloved kids and adults with autism. What do you think?
