heres my suggestion....

assume he has it.....the chances he does are probly high... so that takes away one of your problems... worring weather or not he has it... now educate yourself... autism is not the end of the world...this board is very helpful.. I think we all go thru the omg poor me.. my poor child phase.. but ahhh its just a phase...I too have a young daughter and have suffered a horrible miscarriage years ago( twins)....but your kids need you keep ya chin up.. it will get better... call around get the help you need.. hug your children tight and you have our support here... my son is 6 dx`ed at 3...and..heres something you may not know asbergers is the higest functioning level of autism.. so half your battle is already won... some of our children...arent that lucky....

Higher functioning people with Autism are usually more aware of their difficulties than people with more severe autism and are more likely to become depressed.

sorry this isn't a good thing but something worth being aware of.

I see your point but sadly depression effects more then people with autism....my son is on the lower functioning end of the spectrum...almost completly nonverbal.. but he copes well... and so do I...I also think its safe to say my son is more then likely aware of his diffaculties.. but beacuse he cant express them.. its my job as mommie.. to pick up on what triggers the harder times..and to figure out what eases his transitions..
