I'm a parent of a child with Aspergers and I'm wondering if it's possible for someone with this condition to feel love. Can anyone here provide me with insight or advice? I'm interested in hearing other people's experiences, or any research that might help me better understand this topic. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
