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.

  • My 12yo has been home-educated for 3 years...due to having past problems in schools (socially), however now she has decided to give school another try and as it will be secondary this time she is going to find it hugely difficult because of the social expectations of the teenage years, she won't be able to cope.  She is, like other autistic children, emotionally younger than her age and likes younger things than her peers so that will make her a target for bullies and make her struggle to fit in.  I am dreading it.  I am also dreading having to deal with her stress and complaints about social incidents as that was how it was before when she was at school.
