Asperger's syndrome
I must stop crying before Alec sees me.

It isn't a concrete diagnosis yet, 3 more steps, a pediatrician, a clinical psychologist and a diagnostic speech therapist. If they all agree we will have a diagnosis. After doing a little reading I think Chris has it right. Initially she though he may have had an autism spectrum disorder but he is too social and he is just like they describe for asperger's.

It is silly really, as I knew it could be something like this and I find the therapy sessions difficult as it makes me confront those things about Alec that are different from other kids.

I want to protect him and never let anything hurt him.
