Hi, My 8 year old son has just been diagnosed as having "mild" Aspergers, if there is such a thing as "mild". He "twiddles" quite obsessively and struggles with his school work (mainly his spelling and scentance writing), but is generally clever and has brilliant vocab. He doesnt really show any other obvious signs. (He does like to play with teddies a lot and can sometimes seem a little babyish in comparison to his peers).
We had suspected this for a few years, so in someways was pleased to have the diagnosis so that he can get the help he needs at school.
I was just wondering if there was any similar people out there, whos symptoms are so mild and how it affected you/your child throughout school, socially, etc, and any advise you can give to help improve his concentration on his school work.
I am hoping to get things sorted with his new teacher before the end of school in July, ready for the new school term in Sept, so at last we can move forward with some proper help that is needed specifically for him. Again, any advice welcome.
