Son has just been formally diagnosed with Aspergers Syndrome

Hi there,
thought I would jot a line or two as I cant see any referece to Aspergers
on the other posts.
I have always been very proud of my son, who unless it is a complete mistake, never does anything wrong. I now know that this perfection
came from fright of doing anything wrong, and the need to go by the structure of rules. He was made Head Boy as a result of his good manners
and hardwork. Last year he took his 11plus, he is slow but accurate.
He failed by one point.
Soley with the help of contributors on this website, we appealed.
On the day of the appeal, one of the panel may have suspected somthing from my submition, as stangley she asked, would we describe Christopher,
in any way as geeky. We agreed.
His last teacher was only just qulified, and suggested Aspergers to us..
It was not an issue until he got into the Grammer School, with unfamiliar
people. He was only diagnosed this Friday, and this seems a releif to him.
I think he will be just fine, now that he understands why he feels so anxious all the time. I understand that some very famous intelligent people had Aspergers syndrome. I think that Christopher will fill their shoes with his ambition to become a Scientist.
God bless you all
