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 DJmum

    I have replied to Bessie and I think you will be able to see my reply. 

    Has you son gone on to college?My son dropped out of his first college year as he didn't like the course.  Later it came to light that he couldn't cope with the way the canteen was set up and there was nowhere for him to sit quietly.

    He is now at a new college and has settled in very well although is struggling with the course.  The college have been fantastic and are now helping him one hour per week which he seems to be enjoying.

    I am very happy to keep these conversations going to see if we can help each other.
