  • Hello I am new here. I am a mum of an autistic teenager

    we have been very isolated by my sons condition because he is borderline Autism/ Aspergers. So we have very few friends and know no one in our community. I would like to say my heart goes out to everyone who posts up here because the system seems to lump all autism and special needs people together.little realising the vastly different needs and abilities  of children on the autistic spectrum.

    It is difficult to discribe the intensifing isolation for a Teen with Autism and it is heart breaking to watch.

    He tries very hard to be social but it is very difficult for him to understand visual and emotional cues.

     we do much work on excercises in working out what these cues are by role play, discussion question and answer etc my take on all this is that social skills are going to be paramount.

    We were very lucky with his primary  school which was mainstream  they supported me with the L.E.A to get him a statement. The L.E.A were obstructive at first.But we kept at them. Don't give up  I know that seems easy to say and pretty obvious.

    Mucho Big hugs to everyone out there glad i found people to support and who are supportive please excuse my terrible grammer etc
