Hi, Im Susaye, my 4 year old was diagnosed with High Functioning Autism yesterday. We had an idea that he may be on the spectrum but i was still completely blown away when they told us. Thought it would be nice to chat with other people that are on this emotional rollercoaster!! And please someone tell me that eventually i will be able to talk about it without crying?
Hi Ohalrighttthen,
Firstly can you please direct me to where these posts are please?
Secondly, and most importantly knowing her lifes history would shed
light on her strengths and weaker areas, which may assist in making
the correct choice.
Some people on the spectrum prefer in depth help with a greater amount
of information and all things spoken about, whilst others want much less
all depends on what resources they have for managing for themselves emotionally may need support big time for such to get through a day, help to recognise such is all part of their difficulties but should be programmed/tabled into the course work with tutor recognition of such to make reasonable adjustments to aid her and to give her
knowledge/confidence that help is truely available but let her down once and that
trust will be gone in one go.
Also there needs to be an understanding of a persons physical and mental
energy which sadly to say many persons on the spectrum have not had any
diagnosis/help with, this is one of lifes essentials.
