Help! My son has just been diagnosed with 'asc' but the Senco at school seems happy to use the term Aspergers, and says that this is more widely recognised in the community. I'm worried to tell him he is Aspergers when the Dr has not used this term, but the general definition seems to fit. I think I'm right in that they don't diagnose Aspergers any more, but so much of the helpful literature still uses this terminology.
Am I ok to use Aspergers when no-one has actually diagnosed this?
Will it confuse him to be both? (how do I explain both definitions??)
I want to be able to talk to him soon as aparently someone I told in confidence has told a child in his class and I don't want him to hear from them.
what do I say???
thanks
