Closed doors - nobody seems bothered

bongo

Both my wife and I have family with Autism & Aspergers and can see in our 6 year old traits from both Autism & Aspergers (if that's possible?). Both sides battled with hell for years and years to get a diagnosis and I feel we're going to be in the same boat.

We talk to the school and they say "he's where he needs to be in terms of his writting/reading but we'll monitor the situation". But nothing ever happens apart from meetings with the school family liason woman who just says "you should try parenting classes and we'll send the school nurse round to your home to see whats going on".

We've also seen the GP who says "I can't see a problem, have you tried parenting casses?". This annoys the hell out of me as it's like these parenting classes are the be all & end all and that the school are ignoring our worries and the it feels like the longer it's left the worse anxiety he is getting too.

    Apologies for coming across a bit heavy. This is one of the issues that brought me into conflict and the diagnosis. I suspect that many of us on the forum manage to say things badly or pedantically or overbearing. Perhaps i should put a disclaimer on the bottom of all my posts in case of offence?

    I often concur with your advice too. :-)

    To me, the manuals can provide some help when dealing with the triad. If you don't deal with the fundamental issues of communication then you won't get very far. On top of this we are all individuals so we have unique problems. For some people the issues of ADHD or sensory issues have to be dealt with before the triad but the triad has to be dealt with at some point and the books can help here. This is particularly true for people who haven't come across the syndrome before. For example mo4b has had extensive experience with normal children but has stumbled when confronted with an autistic child.
