Just been diagnosed.

Hello,

My 5 year old daughter was diagnosed on friday with aspergers it was only our second visit with the community pediatrician so i never expected to find out so soon i thought it would take longer. I knew in my heart that she would be diagnosed with aspergers yet i still feel shocked.

  • I think your lucky to have a diagnoses, atleast you have a chance at an early age to get support and understanding. My child is nearly ten now and we are still waiting to get through the system. At 4 they said he was willful and strong minded - REallyy!!!

    Now I have read some of the information on this site and it fit with my son which despite being upsetting is somewhat a relief to see we are not insane.! We have the social, anger managament side of problems with him and it has affected the whole family for the last 10 years. I am so tired.
