Asperger’s Syndrome interview
This is an audio interview between a seventh grader with Asperger’s Syndrome and his mother. At one point he asks, “Did I turn out to be the son you wanted when I was born?”
The interview was for the book Mom: A Celebration of Mothers.

What a sweet and wonderful Mom. I hope I am as sensitive and thoughtful to my child’s questions.

Thanks for sharing! Made me tear up and hopeful at the same time. I wish someday I can be as calm and thoughtful as this mom.

I’m really moved by this clip. Parenting is never an easy task, what’s more with a special kid.
