How do you/do you tell a 6 year old they have Aspergers?

one train of thought from the Community Paediatrician is that it may reduce some of his anxiety because he may be able to think "I only have that fear/problem because..."

Just don't know how to go about it and want to draw on your experiences/opinions.

Thanks

I have a great wee book called Making Sense of Aspergers: A Story for Children by Debra Ende which essentially makes an analogy to computer operating systems (my ds is 7 and could very much relate to computers) with pc's operating on Windows and Apple's operating on Mac OS. Both make the computer work but each system works in a different way.
