Would like to meet Apsergers families Coventry / Warwickshire

Oresteia

Hello,

Our daughter was "recently" diagnosed with Apsergers earlier this year (aged now 5). We would love to meet up with any other families in the Coventry and Warwickshire area, who in particular have daughters, maybe between the ages of 4 - 8 who might like to get in touch and possibly meet up.

Best Wishes

Parents

  • Hello Sarcus,

    Hope you & daughter are doing well. I think an early diagnosis can often be helpful in accessing support and helping them along in these early years.

    My daughter's doing well thank you. How are you feeling / doing with it , d'you mind my asking was it a surprise, expected, upset, relieved bit of everything !

    In reception my daughter REALLY struggled but she's had some improvements in yr 1 and now yr 2 in all aspects of behaviour, education, managing her need for routine, etc etc. I'd have to say that social situation with her peer group remains the most challenging issue for her and I guess causes me the most concern for her but there are real positives over the last 2 years (she was diagnosed at 4 and is now 6).

    In a nut shell I'd say she presents as bright but odd (meant in the nicest possible sense). Her responses, reactions, interests, things she says are not the "norm" and she struggles socially. She needs routines, patterns, and can react very strongly to everyday situations / events.

    Be great to hear how your daughter is doing ? is it early days for you all ?

    Best wishes with everything
