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.

  • my son is the youngest of 3 and i'd already was going through difficulties with my middle child i knew from very early on that he had something going on that wasnt being picked up on. He had difficulties feeding to start and that lead to speech and language problems mobility ect the list just goes on, luckly i've a fantastic relationship with him i dont know wether its because i see similar problems in his dad that i could understand him more than others.

    Emotions are still a big thing and too be honest i think they will always be problems there as there are with his dad( his dad not diagnoised but when our son was being dianiosed we were told he is certainly on the autistic spectrum somewhere) all we can do is help them the best we can let them know whats right and not in the way they are to others and around others.

    I know what you mean about driving you up the wall but where only human too and its not easy dealing with it all either i wouldnt feel guilty about that i have days like that now x
