- From: aspergers2mom
- About Me: I am the mother of two teenage boys with aspergers. My oldest was diagnosed with PDD-NOS at 5 and then rediagnosed before middle school with aspergers. He is now in college and my younger aspie is in a pre-college highschool program. My blog is about my adventure parenting these two boys. Hopefully something I write will help others. My intention is to pass on what I know has worked for my boys and hopefully it will work for your child as well. It's my version of paying it forward.
