Raven. Well done to your little man, he sounds so smart!
My older brother has Aspergers Syndrome. Unfortunately he wasn't diagnosed until much later in life (he's 38) so he didn't get the help and support he needed in school. He has never been too good socially, but he has had some good friends over the years who have made an effort with him and they really bring him out of his shell. He can be so animated and "normal" at times, and other times won't even respond when I say "hello" to him. It's amazing though, get him on the phone or chat to him online and you would never know. He is fantastic at communicating through the written word and he has a heap of pen & phone friends. Thanks to the internet he can email everyone now too.
So I just wanted to say that because your son has the right people working with him while he is so young, he has every chance of becoming more social and making some great friends.
Sam I totally know what you're saying. It's such a roller coaster, and it's ok to grieve a little bit amidst the cheering, IYKWIM. I think it's a totally natural response
