Teenage boy (17) with 'mild' Aspergers

ja

Are there any parents out there who would like to share stories in a similar situation?

My son is 17 and although was told he had Aspergers could not be given the  diagnosis as the assessment was inconclusive due to his answers.  I would love to talk to other parents with a child of similar age to swap stories please.

Thanks.

  • Hi Bessie

    Great to hear from you, thank you.

    Unfortunately my son did only just ok at school but is now at college and getting an hour per week help.  Although there was a lot of diffuculty bringing him up all this has only just come to light over the last couple of months and he himself is willing to accept help which is great.  Trouble is where or what is the help??  I am reading Tony Attwoods book 'The complete guide to Asperger Syndrome' at the moment and it is giving me a great insight as to what the condition is but I am struggling to find out the best way to help my son and if there are ways to help at all.  He suffers greatly with emotions, unable to pick up on them. 

    I would like to keep chatting about this if possible.

    Thanks
