  • how old was your son when he was diagnosed?? we havent applyed for a sen statement as yet but now we have a diagnosis i will talk to the school about this. my son talkssimple sentances but the rest is babble or he says things out of context or that dont make sense ! he doesnt have temper tantrums ( no more then a usual child ) and can be quite easily distracted , he loves school and they dont struggle with him there . i just am worried about how he will cope with the social side of growing up , he loves other children but they tend to not be to bothered about him as he doesnt make sense or cant discuss and relate to the things they are interested in ! how is your son now he is an adult ? sorry for all the personal questions . thank you
