Hi All,
Just wanted to say Hi. My daughter has just been diagnosed with Aspergers and I am really in information overload at the moment. I am logging everything I learn so that hopefully I can create a resource for others to use in the furture... Such an uncertain time...
Any advice on the best places to look for information appreciated.
Mike.
I am new here..
I have a six year old son, who has suspected ASD. He has only just been referred and the waiting time for a diagnosis where i live is between 4 and 7 years:(. I find his behaviour very challenging at times. He is very well behaved in school and is way ahead in his reading and writing. At home he is totally different. He has violent outbursts most days at the moment, and it seems to be getting worse. His 9 year old sister gets the brunt of it, and i feel for her.. I struggle sometimes as it seems whatever i do with my son nothing seems to work. I don't always have the support of my husband as he works away, one week away and then one week at home. My family think that my son is just naughty and that there is nothing wrong with him, so i have given up talking to them about it, and they don't live near me anyway, but think that they are capable of telling me i'm wrong after spending a few days with him.
I just need some support from people who understand what i am going through..
Would be grateful for any advice.
