My son is as normal as anyone & I TREAT him that way, but in day & age of peer pressure in schools especially high school, im preparing for - hence i enquired as there maybe another member who has same condition or have family with same condition whom could give me their wisdom & advice on the practical, we can all read books, as with any parenting issue its somewhat different to deal with the practical than having theory alone!

The reason I asked is because I believe my brother has a similar difficulty.
I asked why you were needing advice now if you have coped for quite some time already. Obviously your doing a great job and have knowledge already of how to cope, its motherly instinct to cope with whatever a child has.
I dont know why people assume a person doesnt have children either just because they havent mentioned them. Caring for anyone whether its your child or not with an illness is enough to understand a difficulty.
