Aspergers

NAS77362

My 7 year old son has been referred for ASD which is without doubt Aspergers.  Can anyone recommend any courses specifically for Aspergers as anything I have found is very general? Thank you in advance.

  • I'm a little confused, is it an assessment he's been referred for? And what sort of course are you looking for? 

    As far as I'm aware Aspergers is a term that is being phased out and everything is under the big banner of ASD now, which may be why you haven't been able to find anything specifically labelled with that title.

    He's being referred for a diagnosis. The term is being phased out however ASD is a very broad spectrum and their are certain traits that are specific to people with aspergers.  It is very early days and I am still trying to take it all in and just want to educate myself as much as possible in order to help him as best as I can.
