Hello. I have a wonderful son aged 11 next month. I have said since he was very little that there was something "different" in his development. Now after nearly 8 years the school have decided i was right. (Not that that makes me feel any better) he is extremely bright in some areas...ie he can work out your change before the cash register can. But in other areas ie socializing he is not very good. We have been sent to the school nurse who says if he isn't on the autistic spectrum she would be very surprised, she even mentioned aspergers. I have no clue what all this means, how they are going to diagnose it etc. Also i am struggling to deal with his outburts. He is never violent to anyone however he will slam doors, try to kick holes in walls....the list goes on. Any suggestions to help would be greatfully appreciated as anything i do seems to aggrevate the situation.
