Introduce Yourself

I saw this suggestion from Lynda, and I thought great idea. So if you come on here, if you want to and feel comfortable to.......................... introduce yourself. Im Jo, I have a beautiful son who is 5yo, I have had a diagnosis of aspergers for 15 months, but knew before. I went through a series of not being believed, being sent here and there and everywhere and what feels like a hell of a ride finding people and resources and acceptance. I can honestly say that with the educational courses on parenting and autism that I have done (and that the amazing team of kind and caring people that work in this field) that life is a whole lot different after a year and a bit.
