I have recently had an appointment with the peaditrician after a refferal from my GP for my 9 yr old son. Since he was tiny I have noticed he is different to the other children of his age. Hes exceptionally bright but lacks alor of the social and emotional development of his peers, he has no friends and has no desire for any. Hes bullied for being different etc but his primary school are not overly concerned as accademiclly hes brilliant and an assent to them.
The specialist agreed with me he is showing all the signs of aspergers syndrome, but because school re not concerned and My son really isnt bothered by not having friemds/fitting in etc he didnt want to do anything more. He also said that i should go back and see him when my son starts secondary school as hell "probably start having problmes then" :o
I just am at a total loss! I dont want my son to go into secondary school with no help! He wont cope! Please can someone help me? How can i get the statement he needs?
