Hi

Hi,our adorable Grandson has been diagnosed with autism and aspergers,he lives really close by and we see him and his siblings every day,we also have sleepovers,he is calmer at our home,possible due to having 3 siblings and a home thats full of laughter and chat all day long.

He is a healthy and loveable 7 year old and we adore him,we are trying to come to terms with his diagnosis and learn coping strategies,Mum and Dad are wonderful,loads of patience,we try to give them as much respite as we can,even if its just a drive out for an hour,or shopping,our local school is'nt geared up at all so Mum and Dad may move him to one which has good support but they are afraid the change may be traumatic for him.

We live on the west coast of Scotland,I am medically retired and hubby is 61.
