Saying hello

Hi

My name is Victoria and my Son who is 6 and a half has just been diagnosed formally with being on the Autism spectrum (Mild) The consultant said they don't diagnose Aspergers anymore, but that would be more to what my son has. 

At the moment i don't actually know where to start, we have had this in our minds since he was two, so to get a diagnosis just confirms what we already know. However my son does have his challenges and quirks (that makes us frustrated and exhausted)

My son is very number orientated- he is currently teaching himself about space, periodic table and decimal points.

    Hi Flamingo,

    I have a 5 year old son diagnosed with ASC (Autistic spectrum condition). He loves numbers and letters, and can read well above his age and count amazingly as well. He is also obsessed by American Diesel Freight Trains (Slightly inconvenient as we are in the UK, but never mind). It can be exhausting, as we have 2 other children, and I am also diagnosed ASC,

    Happy to answer any questions and share experiences if you need!

    There are also lots of people here that can help / empathise with you, so dont worry about asking the wrong question, as there will always be someone who understands!
