      Hi Justjo
      Well I'm not saying it's difficult it's only that the problems change, he will always be A/S it's just that things change, instead of lining little cars up as he used to,he now lines up girlfriends,and it's not the lack of, but he's just so vulnerable and he believes everything he hears,and of course like anyone who's "IN LOVE" he won't be told that their using him, so he has lost hundreds of pounds both in money and heartache,and he makes the same mistakes over and over.I think things may be differant for you though, my son wasn't diagnosed till he was thirty, so I've had to

      Sorry about that Justjo, my computer is so sensitive, anyway as I was saying,I’ve had to use trial and error, but I’ve put an address below for another site that is very helpful for children your sons age, they are good people,just parents like you and I,but they can’t help me much because my son so much older.I hope you find it useful, Good luck.

      Hi
      My son is 30 years old and I`m finding it a struggle to cope and find any information, most of it seems aimed at younger children.
      I was interested when I read your message and I just wondered if you had managed to find out anything or how you are coping now.
      I have to make a decision soon as to whether my son stays at home or goes to live in a residential home for Autism. I am torn as I feel I must make this decision, I`m not getting any younger and one day won`t be around, I`m wondering if this will help him become more independent while I`m still here for him, but it`s so difficult.
