Hello

Hi its the first time i have come on line my son(10 years) was diagnosed a year ago has ASD not Aspergers but was told he was nearist their on spectrum for when looking up info by doctor. He struggles with writing i have noticed this is not helped by the fact he continually reads through all he has writen often ever few words, and often writes over words again. He was recently turned down for staitmenting as he is very bright but i am worried as he goes up to senior school in a year and he will struggle moving from class room to class room. The class he is in at the moment has a high level of statmented children so although they see him as not needing support he has had it since reception. I was also told on a corse i went on we should be claming DLA but i can noy see how has he has no physical needs other than any other child of his age. any advice would be very welcome Thank you.

Sorry think i have put this in wrong place i am not very good with the whole computer thing

Sorry think im in write place now?

  • Yeah, that's better, Mum of J.

    And, just so it's associated with what you've posted, I'll repost what I posted earlier:

    To pick up on one point you made - DLA is not just about physical needs - it's also about mental and emotional needs - though the application form doesn't really make it seem that way.

    I, and many others on the spectrum, get DLA for the needs relating to our ASD.
