Closed doors - nobody seems bothered

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.

  • No need to apologize socks. Anyone who knows you knows where you are coming from and I'm sure no offence is taken.

    I concur with your suggestion, but as with most things ASPIE & AUTIE, it often has to be a multi-pronged approach.

    Some of the best advice I've ever recieved has come from complete strangers or an unexpected source and often contains the most simple solutions. When you become so immersed it's hard to see the wood from the trees i guess.

    We all need a helping hand. :) Have a great weekend one and All! :)
