Newly diagnosed Asperger

Sarkarsizzle

Hi

We have a 5 year old kid who has been recently diagnosed with Level 1 ASD or Asperger's syndrome. We were wondering if anyone can guide us regarding the resources available for getting an idea about how best we can support him?

Also if there any extra curricular activities which will help him or be fruitful for him?

If anyone has faced a similar situation will love to get in touch.

Thanks in advance

  • I had no developmental delays and had a reading age of 18 by the time I was 10. So I'd be prepared with books 

    I was always desperate for knowledge. While the internet is great, it may not be suitable, so I'd look for encyclopedias. And an atlas is great.

    A lot of learning is visual, I had an almost photographic memory. So while the text can be dense, some pictures are good.

    I used to like a load of pieces of wood, just off- cuts as a toy, before I got into meccano. Don't be surprised if the boxes toys come in are of  more interest than the toys.
