Sorry if this sounds like a personal ad, but I am the mom of a 21 year old son with Asperger's.

Hi there. I am new, just logged on today and I think what your doing is amazing. I have a gorgeous 17 year old that I think may have aspergers but I came on here to get some advice about how to tell her and ran into your story.
