WOW.

I'm so impressed.

Paul, thank you very much for sharing your story with us here.

I've just skimmed over it quickly as I'm just waking up, but will most definitely save it to read in detail later this morning. From what I've just read, it looks as if it could be made into a book in the future. Did you ever think of that?

So much of what you have written sounds like my own son except for the language development. His language development was actually very good and somewhat more advanced than usual. Finally correctly diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome at age 14, after many years of being misunderstood by his doctors who were at the time spending all their energy treating his tics, adhd, anxiety and ocd. (actually some what you've written reminds me of myself as well). You even mention the TS which my son (and daughter) has as well. He's 20 now.

I also see you're a fellow Australian.
Don't forget to check out the Lunar Eclipse tonight!

Thanks so much. I really appreciate your sharing with us.
