Our 12 (now 16 whoo-hoo!) year old son Cameron was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome (AS) in November 2005.
(Please note that the majority of this page was written in 2005 when our son was originally diagnosed. I need to update it, but lack of time gets in the way... A LOT has changed though, including the severity of his various diagnoses, since I wrote most of this website.)
In addition he's got Bi-Polar, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), General Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), severe depression at times, and a number of other problems.
As we struggle to find information to help him we are realizing that there's not a whole lot out there (more on our lives with Asperger's Syndrome). So, this website is our attempt to make the world a friendlier and easier place to negotiate for those with Asperger's Syndrome or Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD-NOS).
We certainly hope that you find your visit here helpful. :) If you have any questions or comments or need any help with anything please do contact us, using the Contact Us button in the navigation bar on the left and we'll do all we can to help.
Let's travel the journey together so that we always have someone to lean on, and to help one another as best we can...
I wish you all the best!
