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

Like your son, I have aspergers too. My brother once set me up with a girl. I ended up marrying her and we have 3 kids now.

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. I completely understand where you are coming from and if I were close to you I would give it a try. Maybe a pen pal in the future? Good luck~
Maybe you could show her the biopic about Temple Grandin starring Clare Danes. Temple Grandin is a real heroine in our house and I even got her autograph for my son. Darryl Hannah has also just come out and announced that she is on the spectrum.
Thanks so much for your advice! Will look into the dating site. Great idea.
I am so scared.
