Wed, 04-12-2006 - 8:56pm  My 5yo DS was just diagnosed with ASD
Monday. It was not a "shock" per se. I always knew there was
something "off" since my DS was 18 months (no speech/language).
But still, having it in black and white still hurts.  But having
this diagnosis will not change the fact that my DS is still the
same funny, smart, flirty, sassy boy who loves to cuddle with
his mommy every morning and every night. He is still my boy,
just intensified, lol.  What books or websites can you recommend
to me to get me started on this adventure? His psychologist
recommend a couple, but I want to hear what other Mom's
recommend, kwim?   Well Behaved Women Seldom Make History
