Hi
I am new to discussion forums. This is the 1st one I have joined.
My son is 7, and was diagnosed last year with ASD/Aspergers.
I have a hard time getting him to go to school, and need advise on certain issues.
Thanks
Steph
welcome steph. i too was diagnosed with aspergers last year, however i am 45! i kind of fell through the gaps. all i can say from an aspie point of view is that the more i am pushed into doing something i am uncomfortalble with, the worse this can make me. perhaps a reward system for attending instead of punishment? do you know what it is about going to school your son most dislikes? i hope he isnt bullied. i realise that your son probably finds it difficult communicating his emotions, i still do, so this makes helping him awkward. are you getting any support from your school, do they know.
i dont know if any of this helps. im afraid i cant give a quick fix answer, there are not any. but i do know as long as he is loved and cared for, he will be ok. patience is the key word here.
good luck
