My Son was diagnoised with asperger's syndrome about 6 month's ago. He also has ADHD that they are saying that could also be related to the asperger's syndrome. My daughter has ADHD and does not have no where near the behavior issues that my son does so I am assuming that they are related to the asperger's syndrome. If anyone knows of a site that has a support group or any that can explain some of the behavior issues that I am dealing with and how to help him would be great. Thanks.

Just google it and put in your location for specific support groups in your area. You might also want to contact ABC as one of the character's on Boston Legal has Asperger's and they also probably have information. As for both of your kids having ADHD, have you (and/or your mate) been checked because the parents generally have the symptoms as well, but somewhat tempered down. Good Luck

I am so sorry. Aspergers is on the Autism spectrum. I am not sure of an exact address, but Ivillage has message boards for lots of these conditions, surf around there. My daughter has another condition on the spectrum, her behaviors are all related to her condition, and very little to do with ADD, she actually got better when we took her off the ADD meds. Maturity has helped with her also. I hope you can find the support you most definitely need. I hope that you have a supportive doc, and school system also. Sometimes they can refer you to local support. Good luck!

Whilst Autism and Asperger's syndrome often lead to difficulties in understanding and using language, it is also possible that they may be mistaken for ADHD or ADD.
I add a link that has a directory for this condition –
http://www.kandi.org/aspergers/Support
_Groups_and_Organizations/index2.html
And two that are support groups etc-
http://www.assupportgrouponline.co.uk/
http://www.udel.edu/bkirby/asperger/
Hope this is of assistance

I have a friend in Northern CA who runs a couple online support groups. Email me for her address. Maybe she can help you out.
