Saying Hello, daughter 9 with possible Aspergers

Pink68

Hello,

 

I wanted to say 'Hi' to you all and give a little of our story - In my daughters school they have a 'nuture group' for the children who are struggling for whatever reason in class, she was 'picked' to join this class and is enjoying it there.  One of the staff recommended a book for us to read and share written from a childs perspective about Aspergers, after I mentioned I had suspicions that my daughter had Aspergers, or similar traits of it.  We read the book together this evening and it was like it was written about her!  It has helped both of us so much, me to understand her and her to understand why she feels so different to everyone else.  So therefore I decided to visit your forum and get some support, help and advice, as I think we're going to need it!

Obviously we don't have a diagnosis and perhaps I'm jumping the gun a little, but I just wanted to get your thoughts and wondered if anyone else is going through the same thing.

    Candy - the book is called Can I tell you about Asperger Syndrome? - A guide for friends and family by Jude Welton.

    It's a great little book, useful for anyone to read who has contact with a child with Aspergers.

    Crystal - I haven't asked for a diagnosis as I wasn't 100% sure that this is what was going on, now I'm convinced! I will be speaking to the school ASAP and we are already in the process of setting up a C.A.F (Common Assessment Framework) within the school to get the help Leah needs from any professional bodies they think suitable.
