I'm worried about not doing enough for him since I was very bored as a child and had uninvolved parents. I'm also worried about pushing him too much though. I'm an aspie as well so there's potential for 2e also.
It's hard for me to imagine a bored infant or toddler, particularly if you aren't leaving him in the playpen all day, but I'm curious if the AS makes it particularly hard to 'tune in' to your children and guess what parts of the world they might enjoy you bringing to them.
Are there parenting support groups for adult aspies? Were these traits part of what drove your parent's uninvolvement?
If you haven't bumped into the ideas of John Holt (UnSchooling)
I would strongly recommend you start there -
http://www.holtgws.com/whatisunschoolin.htmland see how you do in the role of 'learning facilitator' - particularly given your son's young age.
My hunch is that you have a tremendous amount of life experience and wisdom to off your children and this group - Welcome Aboard - so glad you found us!
