A diagnosis of Asperger's doesn't mean there is something wrong with your son. He will still be the same kid he was before, but the label will help others understand him better and help him develop to his full potential. And I think a lot of amazing strengths can come with this kind of brain!

Getting help is defending him. I think knowing and having ways to help would have spared me and my family a lot pain when I was growing up.

Me too! (Waving hand in the air.)

Yes, me too! (Waving hand in the air also.)
I still have some residual issues as an adult, but I've developed good coping mechanism now.
