veroedge over 5 years ago

Hi my sons 9 he has Asperger’s and we held off telling him for a number of reasons, I not go into can anyone give me any tips on how to start the conversation. Can anyone recommend any books or website I can maybe use to explain it?

Hi veroedge,

If you haven't already seen it, you might find the post-diagnosis page on the NAS website helpful. It talks about how you could talk to your child about diagnosis and even suggests books etc that might be relevant.
